TALLAHASSEE, Fla. â Florida s first year enforcing its hands-free driving policy didn t bring in a whole lot of citations.
Officers began writing tickets for the new rule in January, which forbids drivers from having mobile devices in their hands while in school or work zones.
Lawmakers drafted the bill in the 2019 legislative session to help minimize distracted driving in the state. It kills more than 200 Floridians each year and accounts for more than 100,000 crashes.
