In 2010, Paul Miller was tragically killed when a distracted driver crossed a median and hit his car head-on. He was 21.

With the support of Paul’s mother, an advocate for distracted driving legislation, Governor Shapiro signed Senate Bill 37, also known as Paul Miller’s law, into law.

Effective this June, the new law makes it illegal to hold a mobile device while driving. This includes dialing and answering a mobile device—even at red lights.

Distractions aren’t worth your life or anyone else’s. Don’t drive distracted.

Driving a few miles over the speed limit might not feel like a big deal, but in a collision with a pedestrian, it can be the difference between life and death.

Slow down, save a life.
