- 3 years ago, Michigan’s hands-free driving law went into effect. Now a survey reveals the impact
Michigan’s hands-free driving law, in effect for three years, has led to 96,000 fewer drivers using phones while driving, according to a Michigan State University survey. Drivers under 30 remain twice as likely to use phones compared to older drivers, and violations carry fines up to $250, with mandatory courses for repeat offenders.
