Put the phones down. Changes are coming to Pennsylvania's distracted driving laws.
from Pittsburgh All Local
Put the phones down. Changes are coming to Pennsylvania's distracted driving laws. The law is named after Paul Miller, who was killed when a truck driver smashed into his car while reaching for his phone. State police say starting June 5th, they will begin to enforce the law that makes it illegal to have a phone in your hand while you're driving....or at a red light or stop sign. Triple A's Jim Garrity said at a Friday news conference, their data shows checking the phone at a light is just as dangerous. State police will hand out written warnings for one year before imposing 50 dollar fines, which will also include court and other costs.
