Michigan has joined numerous other states that are cracking down on distracted drivers.
In 2009, more than one in four accidents were cause by distracted drivers, which led to a statewide law that was enacted, banning text messaging while driving.
Texting while driving dramatically increases the risk for accidents to occur. According to researchers at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, distracted drivers are 23 times more likely to crash.
Some cities have passed additional ordinances that prohibit drivers from eating, writing, performing personal hygiene/grooming and physically interacting with pets, passengers or unsecured cargo. The law applies if the driver does not have at least one hand on the wheel with a controlled grip.
