Michigan lawmakers propose stricter laws to combat distracted driving.
TL;DR
Lawmakers in Michigan 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, texting and driving is a secondary offense, meaning drivers can only be ticketed for it if they are pulled over for another violation. Supporters of the proposed legislation argue that it will improve traffic safety and reduce the number of distracted driving accidents.
