🚨📱 PAUL MILLER'S LAW IS NOW IN FULL EFFECT 📱🚨

As of today, June 5, 2026, Pennsylvania's Paul Miller's Law is now fully enforceable. This law expands Pennsylvania's distracted driving regulations and makes it a primary offense to hold or support a cell phone or other interactive mobile device while driving.

🚔 What does this mean?

Drivers may not hold or support a cell phone or other interactive mobile device while operating a vehicle. This includes when you are:

🔴 Stopped at a red light
🛑 Stopped at a stop sign
🚗 Sitting in traffic
⏸️ Temporarily stopped for any other traffic-related delay

Because this is now a primary offense, a police officer can stop a vehicle and issue a citation or warning solely for this violation without observing any other traffic offense.

💰 Penalty

A violation is a summary offense and carries a $50 fine, plus applicable court costs and fees.

✅ When can you use your phone?

You may use your interactive mobile device if you have safely pulled off the roadway and your vehicle is completely stationary in a location where it can safely remain stopped. Hands-free technology is also permitted.

📊 Why is this law important?

Distracted driving continues to be a significant factor in crashes throughout Pennsylvania. Every text, notification, phone call, or glance away from the road increases the risk of a crash that can permanently change lives.

👮‍♂️🚔 The officers of the Upper Saucon Township Police Department, along with law enforcement agencies throughout Pennsylvania and across the country, work every day to keep motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians safe.

🙏 Please help us in that mission by keeping your attention on the roadway and your hands on the wheel. Together, we can reduce distracted driving crashes and make our roads safer for everyone.

📵🚗 Put the phone down. Arrive alive. 🚗📵

🚑 In honor of National EMS Week, we would like to recognize the incredible men and women of the Upper Saucon Ambulance Corps for the outstanding service they provide, not only to Upper Saucon Township, but to many surrounding jurisdictions as well. 👏

Founded in 1976, the Upper Saucon Ambulance Corps has continued to grow and evolve over the years. Today, our community is incredibly fortunate to have access to 🚑🚑🚑 3 ambulances, 1 squad unit, and equipment for two Advanced Life Support units operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. ⏰ They also increase staffing during special events, severe weather, and other times of increased need. 🌧️⚡

Many townships and boroughs are not fortunate enough to have their own ambulance corps like we do. The safety, comfort, and reassurance that comes from knowing we have such highly trained EMTs, technicians, and volunteers serving our community every day does not go unnoticed and is deeply appreciated.

Here at the Upper Saucon Township Police Department, we truly value the strong partnership we share with you all at the Upper Saucon Ambulance Corps. 🤝 Thank you for the incredible work you do every single day and for your unwavering dedication to keeping our community safe. 👮🚑💙
