REMINDER - JUNE 5, 2026 - Paul Miller's Law:
Since June 5, 2025, drivers have been prohibited from using a hand-held mobile device while driving, including when stopped at a red light, stop sign, or in traffic.
During the first year, law enforcement generally issued written warnings.
Beginning June 5, 2026, officers can issue citations and fines for violations.
The law covers activities such as:
Watching or recording videos
Other electronic communications while holding or supporting the device with your hand or body.
Hands-free use remains legal, including voice commands, Bluetooth calling, navigation, and music when used without holding the device. Emergency calls are also permitted.
For Pennsylvania drivers, the practical takeaway is simple: if you need to interact with your phone, either use hands-free technology or pull over safely before touching the device
PLAIN and SIMPLE: IF YOUR DRIVING PUT THE PHONE DOWN!!
