Types of Distracted Driving

Driving requires extreme focus and concentration. Any time you take your eyes off the road, you could potentially cause serious accidents and injuries

Distracted driving includes dangerous actions such as:

Connecticut’s Cell Phone Use & Driving Laws

It is illegal for all drivers, including bus drivers and drivers of commercial vehicles, to use a hand-held phone while driving. Drivers who are younger than 18 years old are prohibited from using all mobile devices while driving, including hands-free accessories.

Connecticut has banned the use of hand-held mobile phones and electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle. Although many drivers are using hands-free devices, studies have shown that use of a hands-free device is just as dangerous as driving with a hand-held phone. Exceptions to Connecticut’s cell phone laws include use by emergency situations and first responders such as firefighters, police officers, etc.

Tips to Prevent Distracted Driving

• Avoid answering calls while driving
• Secure your pets and children
• Plan your route and set your GPS before driving
• Take care of personal grooming before you enter your car
• If you need to make a call, safely pull over
