Summary
The law makes it illegal for any driver to hold a handheld phone to the ear or watch a video on a handheld device that is in full view while the vehicle is moving. It also treats distracted driving in a highway work zone as reckless driving. Violations carry tiered fines, appear on driving records, and a portion of the fine is sent to the local municipality.
