Pennsylvania Bans Hand-Held Phone Use While Driving
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed a law banning the use of hand-held devices while driving to reduce distracted driving and enhance road safety. The law, inspired by Eileen Miller's advocacy after losing her son to a distracted driver, mandates hands-free use of devices and includes exceptions for emergency crews. Violators will face a $50 fine, and police will track data to prevent targeting marginalized communities.
