Starting in June, Pennsylvania drivers using hand-held phones while driving will face fines under Paul Miller’s Law.
from Pittsburgh All Local
Beginning June 5th, drivers caught on their phones will face a $50 fine plus court costs. The law, named for Paul Miller, who was killed by a distracted driver in 2010, allows hands-free calls and GPS but bans texting or scrolling while driving. Nearly 10,000 crashes in 2024 involved distracted drivers, resulting in more than 6,000 injuries and 49 fatalities and officials say just a moment of inattention can have life-altering consequences. Pennsylvania State Police and PennDOT are urging all motorists to put the phone away and stay focused on the road.
