One year into Michigan’s hands-free driving law, a study is taking a look at the impacts on the roads.

Or rather, the lack of impacts in the form of crashes. Bridge Michigan reports the figures tell state police that there were 305 fewer distracted driving crashes in 2023 compared to the year before, a reduction of roughly 2%.

There were a little more than 19,000 tickets issued for drivers using their phones behind the wheel. There were still more than 15,000 distracted-driving crashes in the state last year.

The law took effect on June 30 of last year and bans holding or using a cellphone to text, record video, check social media, or otherwise use the phone while you are behind the wheel.
