text: However, in Georgia they passed a hands free law July 1, 2018 which states that any driver driving a motor vehicle are prohibited from holding, watching, recording, writing, texting, etc. In my opinion, I feel as if every state in the United States should pass this law as it would reduce the amount of fatal accidents. There are many ways to prevent distracted driving at any age. One way is to put your phone on "Do Not Disturb" until you have reached your destination. If you are using your GPS for finding a location type in the desired location before you start operating the vehicle and review the directions. To prevent yourself from touching your phone use a phone holder for your car. These may save your life from any fatal accidents while behind the wheel.
