What Is Included in Illinois’ Distracted Driving Laws?
The laws in Illinois prohibit drivers from doing a variety of activities that cause distractions. The most important of these laws is the law banning cellphone use. You cannot talk on your cellphone. You cannot text on your cellphone while driving. You can use your cellphone if you have a hands-free device, if have some sort of Bluetooth device. But you cannot use your cellphone to text your friends or family members, and laws state that. The law in Illinois provides fines and penalties for using your cellphone while operating a vehicle. There are other laws that prohibit drivers from acting certain ways while on the road, that prohibit you from being fatigued while operating a vehicle, that prohibit you from being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
