A new law passed this year by the Iowa Legislature means that as of July 1st, drivers in Iowa may not touch their phones.
Iowa State Patrol spokesman, Trooper Kevin Krull says April happens to be the perfect month to talk about a distracted driving law…
Krull says you can still make and take calls, but it has to be through your car’s infotainment center or a hands-free device so that you don’t have to touch the phone…
Krull explains the difference between what’s allowed now and what it will be like with the new law July 1st…
Krull says under the new law, you’ll still be able to pull over to use your phone, but is a stipulation…
Krull adds that if you think you can multi-task while you’re driving, you need to think again.
