We'd like to remind all Michigan drivers that if you're commuting through Troy today, the Distracted Driving Law is officially in effect! The law came in to effect Saturday but we're sending out the reminder today since it's the first day back to work and school after the holiday for many people. Bans include; talking on your phone, texting, eating, playing with pets, applying makeup and many more. The ticket won't put any points on your record but fines can be anywhere from $75 to $200.
The whole idea behind these types of laws is to increase driver safety and reduce crashes for all Michigan drivers. So, MI Motorists, put down your cell phone and keep two hands on the wheel, It's The Law!
