(Undated) — April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and law enforcement across Iowa will be ramping up efforts to curb phone use behind the wheel.
The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau says drivers can expect heightened enforcement of the state’s Hands-Free Law from April 6th through April 10th.
The law, which prohibits holding or manually using a phone while driving, began full enforcement on January 1st. Since then, officers have issued more than 24-hundred citations and over 19-hundred warnings to drivers across the state.
