Pennsylvania Enacts 'Hands-Free' driving law.
Named the Paul Miller, Jr. Law, Senate Bill 37 – now Act 18 of 2024 – limits the use of handheld cellphones or other communication devices while operating a motor vehicle on Pennsylvania highways. Drivers can still use their phones if utilizing hands-free technology such as a docking station, Bluetooth or speaker technology.
“In 2023, there were more than 11,000 crashes in Pennsylvania that involved a distracted driver,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll.
“Driving requires 100% of your attention 100% of the time, and this bill – which I was proud to support as minority chair of the House Transportation Committee – is an important step forward in discouraging distracted driving and keeping everyone safe on the road.”
AMEN.
