Preventing distracted driving
AI Summary
This bill aims to prevent distracted driving by expanding the definition of "mobile electronic device" and the restrictions on their use while operating a motor vehicle. It defines "hands-free mode" for using such devices, allows the Registry of Motor Vehicles to further define "mobile electronic device", and prohibits viewing video content on these devices while driving. The bill also requires law enforcement agencies to collect and report data on traffic stops, and directs the Registry to develop and implement public awareness campaigns on the dangers and consequences of distracted driving.
