NEW DISTRACTED DRIVING LAW

Did you know Michigan’s new distracted driving law makes it illegal to hold and use a mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle? Drivers caught violating the “hands-free” law can face fines and/or be required to perform community service

Driver inattention is the leading factor in most crashes and near-crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Virginia Tech Transportation Since driving is a visual task, non-driving activities that draw the driver's eyes away from the roadway should always be avoided.
