text: On the day of July 1, 2018 a new law saying that " Drivers cannot have a phone in their HAND or touching any part of their body while talking on their phone while driving". Meaning you will get a ticket and i'm pretty sure that nobody wants to get a 150-250 dollar ticket for doing something stupid. It's really sad when you think about it, people have developed skills and strategies to make it look like they're not on the phone.
