APD enforces hands-free driving ordinance

The city of Austin plans to enforce traffic laws by ensuring that individuals refrain from using their cellular devices while driving a motorized vehicle. The Daily Texan mentions insight from local police officers and a local citizen as well which allows us to have an insight from both sides of the spectrum. APD wants to make it clear to the public that they mean business when it comes to traffic laws. First time offenders have the opportunity to reduce their fine amount if they purchase a Bluetooth device. Also they could have the ticket removed from their record if the offender refrains from receiving a second violation in the three months after they received their first. This article is neat because the millennial's aren't the population that are largely at fault. On the other hand we must abide by the traffic laws to ensure the safety of ourselves and others.
