New GA Hands Free Law- What Can You Do To Capitalize!

Georgia just passed the distracted driving bill: What’s legal, what’s not?

 

The Georgia General Assembly approved House Bill 673, which would require drivers to use hands-free technology when using cell phones and other electronic devices while driving. But “hands-free” isn’t as clear-cut as it sounds.

Here’s a look at what would and would not be allowed, and prohibited!

 

Prohibited

*Holding or supporting, with any part of the body, a wireless telecommunications device or stand-alone electronic device (for example, an iPod).

*Writing, sending or reading any text-based communication, including a text message, instant message, e-mail or internet data while holding your device.

*Reaching for a device if it means you’re no longer in a seated, driving position or properly restrained by a seatbelt.

*Watching a video or movie other than watching data related to the navigation of your vehicle (i.e., your mapping app or GPS screen).

*Recording a video.

 

Allowed

*Speaking or texting while using hands-free technology.

*Using a GPS system or mapping app.

*Wearing and using a smartwatch.

*Using an earpiece to talk on the phone.

*Using radios, CB radios, CB radio hybrids, commercial two-way radios, subscription-based emergency communication devices, prescribed medical devices, amateur or ham radios and “in-vehicle security, navigation or remote diagnostics” systems.

*There are circumstances where you can handle an electronic device while driving: Reporting a traffic accident, medical emergency, fire, a crime or delinquent act or a hazardous road condition. You can also use your hands if you’re lawfully parked (not at a stoplight – “lawfully” means off or beside the road in an area open to parking).

*Some people are exempt from the hands-free requirement if they’re performing official duties: police, firefighters, emergency medical personnel, ambulance drivers, other first responders and utility employees or contractors responding to a utility emergency.

 

 

Now that Georgia residents are going to have their eyes on the road more, this is a perfect opportunity for businesses to capitalize on VEHICLE WRAPS!
