Reminder: New Cellular Laws in 2010
Please be aware of two new cellular laws that took effect Jan. 1. Illinois is now among 19 states that have outlawed texting while driving to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities. On Aug. 6, Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law House Bill 71 and House Bill 72, which took effect on Jan. 1.
Motorists are impacted in three ways according to the two new laws: 1) no motorist will be allowed to compose, send or read messages or access the Internet while driving; 2) no motorist will be allowed to talk on a cell phone while driving through a construction zone or a school zone (There are exceptions for a person engaged in highway construction or maintenance, emergencies and when the phone is in voice-activated mode.); and 3) no motorist under the age of 19 can use a cell phone at all while driving. The ban includes personal digital assistants and portable or mobile computers.
For additional details, please refer to http://www.dot.il.gov/texting.asp.
