distracted driving laws

Distracted driving laws prohibit the use of electronic devices like cell phones while operating a vehicle, aiming to reduce accidents caused by distractions. Many states ban texting and talking on handheld phones for all drivers, especially in work zones or school zones. Some laws allow for hands-free devices, but even these can be restricted. Additionally, laws often prohibit other distractions such as eating, adjusting the radio, or grooming while driving. Violating these laws can result in fines, points on your license, or increased penalties, emphasizing the importance of staying focused on the road for safety.
