Driving with one hand on the wheel and the other on a cell phone is no longer an option for Washington state drivers.
On Tuesday, they join more than 28 million others nationwide who have to hang up their cell phones or use hands-free devices. Violators can face a $124 ticket.
“We’ll continue to see more legislation as more devices go in a car,” said Matt Sundeen, who has monitored cell phone laws for the National Conference of State Legislatures. “A lot of people agree these types of devices are distracting, but the real question is — are they so distracting they need some type of restriction?”
California and Washington are just the latest states to enact laws that prohibit the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. Both state permit hands-free devices. source
