Understanding Connecticut Law on Cell Phone Usage While Operating a Vehicle

It is no secret that motorists who engage in mobile device usage not only put themselves at risk for injury, but they also put other motorists on the road at risk for serious injury as well. The auto accident attorneys at the McEnery Law Group have seen the effects of distracted driving first hand.

If you are a licensed driver, it is important to know and understand Connecticut’s distracted driving laws:

• Under no circumstance should any motorist operate a handheld mobile device, including cell phones, while the vehicle is in motion.
• Under no circumstance should a motorist engage in any activity that takes their attention from operating the vehicle.
