In part two of the program, Phil speaks with Katie Bower, director of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning. As part of supporting National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, police agencies throughout Michigan are teaming up with the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning (OHSP) for a high-visibility enforcement effort during April. According to Michigan Traffic Crash Facts, 15,441 confirmed motor vehicle crashes involving a distracted driver in Michigan during 2022, the most recent year for which data is available. Distracted driving crashes resulted in 5,905 injuries and 57 fatalities. Katie reminded us that violating Michigan’s Hands-Free Driving Law is costly: For the first offense, a $100 ticket and/or 16 hours of community service; for the second offense, a $250 ticket and/or 24 hours of community service; and for a third offense, within three years, the driver is to complete a driving-improvement course.
