Michigan lawmakers discuss stricter laws against distracted driving.
TL;DR
Michigan lawmakers are considering strengthening the state's texting and driving laws by making it a primary offense, allowing police officers to pull over drivers solely for texting while driving. Currently, it is a secondary offense, meaning drivers can only be ticketed for texting if they are pulled over for another violation. The proposed legislation aims to increase traffic safety and reduce distracted driving.
