Template:Washington state distracted driving

Eyes on the road at all times! Do NOT use, hold, or look at your phone while driving, even while stopped in a red light! Police across the Washington State are also on the lookout for unsafe driving because of distractions, including eating, drinking, smoking, and grooming. The fine for the first offence is $136. The law applies for all gadgets, big or small, and "driving" includes times when you are not moving. If you need to use your phone or GPS for navigation, input your destination before driving or have a passenger do it for you. Should there be a need to answer or make phone calls, use speakerphone or a hands-free device, including your car's entertainment system. Postpone writing texts or e-mails until you are safely parked. Use your phone's voice assistant feature if you need to.
