First responders, law enforcement, and other emergency workers can use a phone all they want while performing official duties. In fact, anyone can use a phone so long as they’re calling or texting 911 to report an emergency or to seek assistance. Interestingly enough, drivers can still use the connected services their phone may provide so long as it’s in a hands-free fashion.
This isn’t the only thing Michiganders need to be aware of on the roads either. A new bill that’s passed the House would allow authorities to install speed cameras in construction zones. The bill still needs to pass the Senate and get signed by the governor before it’s passed. Nevertheless, it’s clear to see that drivers need to pay closer attention to what they do behind the wheel of a car in Michigan.
The cell phone ban law even bans drivers from touching their phones when stationary at a stop sign or stop light. What happens if you park your vehicle while stopped? Surely, that’s got to break some sort of law but at that point are you allowed to touch your cell phone? Provided you’ll still have to put down that cheeseburger, your razor, and your moisturizer before you pick up the phone. Those are all perfectly legal of course.
