| New Cell Phone Laws Effective January 1 |
|
|
On January 1, 2010, two new State laws will go into effect regulating the use of cell phones and smart phones while driving. House Bill 71 prohibits individuals from using cell/smart phones to compose, send, or read an electronic message while operating a motor vehicle on a roadway. Additionally, House Bill 72 prohibits the use of a cell/smart phone while driving through a school or construction speed zone.
Please be sure to have an understanding of these two new laws as the new year approaches. Operating a vehicle safely demands that the driver concentrate on driving. For more information on Illinois State laws on driving, please visit the Illinois Secretary of State website.
