Beginning Friday, June 5, Pennsylvaniaโ€™s warning period for Paul Millerโ€™s Law cฬณoฬณmฬณeฬณsฬณ ฬณtฬณoฬณ ฬณaฬณnฬณ ฬณeฬณnฬณdฬณ, meaning drivers can now be stopped and cited for violating the stateโ€™s handheld device ban.

Under the law, it is illegal to hold or use a handheld phone while operating a vehicle โ€” including while stopped at a red light, sitting in traffic, or waiting at a stop sign.

Activities that can now result in a traffic stop and citation include:
โ€ข Texting
โ€ข Scrolling social media
โ€ข Reading messages
โ€ข Recording video
โ€ข Browsing apps
โ€ข Holding a phone for navigation

Drivers may still use hands-free devices, voice commands, mounted GPS systems, and other hands-free functions.

One of the biggest changes many drivers may not realize is that law enforcement can now stop a vehicle solely because the driver is holding or using a handheld phone. No other traffic violation is required.

Violations carry fines, along with additional court costs and fees.

If you're still in the habit of checking your phone at red lights, Friday is a good time to break that habit. Help keep our roads safe for everyone.
