We get it. Your phone buzzes . It might be important . But unless it’s calling to say “I’ve been pulled over” it can wait 😀

👀 our officers have noticed :
•Coffee in one hand ☕️
•Steering wheel in the other 🚗
•Phone.. somehow still involved 🤨

Under the new hands-free law, phones are for pockets, mounts, or passengers -not for your hand while driving.

📵texting
📵scrolling
📵”just real quick”

✅safe driving
✅both hands on the wheel
✅no awkward eye contact with an officer at a red light

Drive safe, stay legal, and save the phone for when you are parked.
We promise-your group chat will survive 😉

The grace period is now over and citations may be issued. Please drive safe.
