"Michigan's New Hands-Free Driving Law: What You Need to Know"

Michigan has implemented a new hands-free driving law, making it illegal to hold or use a cellphone while driving. Drivers can be pulled over and ticketed for any cellphone use, including making calls, texting, or using social media. Hands-free options, such as voice commands or mounted cellphones, are allowed. Violators can face fines or community service, with higher penalties for repeat offenses. Exceptions include emergency workers, GPS use (if not held or typed on), and hands-free cellphone use. Red lights do not exempt drivers from the law.
