New Distracted Driving Law Begins June 30

Starting June 30, 2023, Michigan will no longer permit using cell phones while driving except in emergency situations. Drivers should expect aggressive enforcement once the law begins. Drivers will also be barred from taking photos or vidoes, using social media, or holding phones while making a phone call.

Thousands of deaths occur due to distracted driving each year and many more accidents most likely go unreported due to the difficulty in retrieving cellular phone use.
