Should It Be Illegal in Michigan to Use a Phone While Driving

During the Danny and Monica morning show this week, we've been talking about distracted driving and how truly dangerous it really is.

As you know, starting Friday, handling a phone while driving will be made illegal in Battle Creek and now Michigan might being doing the same thing.

According to WILX-News 10, Your Breaking News and Weather Authority, Governor Gretchen Whitmer brought up the idea of making it illegal in Michigan to use a phone while behind the wheel during her State of the State Address.

Michigan currently has a distracted driving law making it illegal to text and drive.  This new bill would ban drivers from holding their phone while making calls, reading a text, posting to social media and more.

Drivers can still use their GPS and talk into a mounted phone as long as they're not physically holding it while driving.
