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.
