Statistically, distracted driving caused 3,166 lives in 2017. Just about every state has issued a law or ban against cell phones while driving but it seems that there not very effective. Most have banned all use while driving but some have issued the hands free law. These offenses can lead to fines or a possible license suspension. Applying to all drivers but especially teen drivers. Mostly because teens already spend a lot of time with their phone but also they understand most of the technology and features of their smartphone. It's baffling that with these laws placed people don't abide by them.
