Georgia’s New Distracted Driving Law Begins in July

Beginning July 1 it will be unlawful for drivers in the state of Georgia to operate their cellphones in any way while on the road.

Gov. Nathan Deal made Georgia the 16th state in the United States to enact a law that will ban motorists from using cellphones while driving when he signed House Bill 673 into law.
