Hands-free Driving

Summary

The bill would amend Florida’s careless‑driving law to penalize drivers who hold a wireless device while committing a careless‑driving act. First‑time offenders could avoid the fine and point by completing a state‑approved safety program, and several exemptions (emergency responders, hands‑free use, etc.) are listed. It also sets rules for police searches of phones and directs the new fine to the Emergency Medical Services Trust Fund.
