LANSING, MI - Three new Michigan bills introduced in the state House would change current restrictions on texting while driving in an attempt to update them for advances in technology.
House Bills 4277, 4278 and 4279 would add exemptions for hands free devices, expand prohibitions for social media usage while driving and add additional fines for violations.
The current law has not kept up with modern advances, said co-sponsor Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham.
“Distracted driving constitutes a serious danger to Michigan drivers,” she said, “but the law simply has not kept up with the advances of mobile technology. These bills solve the technological oversights from stem to stern.”
