This from fox59.com: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Governor Eric Holcomb announced his 2020 next level agenda, outlining key issues he hopes to address in the new year. Among them is a change to Indiana’s distracted driving law.
Holcomb is pushing for a ban on hand-held devices, something local hospitals have been pushing for since the original law went into effect.
Right now, Indiana law only outlaws texting or emailing while driving. Things like posting to Facebook, sending Snapchats, or even making mobile sports bets are all legal while behind the wheel.According to the Ascension St. Vincent’s “Drive Now, Text Later” campaign, distracted driving is the number one killer of teenagers in the United States, and 60% of teens admit they do it.
