MOTORISTS EITHER DON’T KNOW THE RULES OR ARE IGNORING THEM. STATE POLICE CAPTAIN SCOTT COMPTON REMINDS THAT ILLINOIS LAW PROHIBITS THE USE OF A CELL PHONE WHILE DRIVING, UNLESS YOU ARE USING A HANDS FREE DEVICE.

 

 

TEXTING WHILE DRIVING IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW AND VERY DANGEROUS. ACCORDING TO THE STATE POLICE, JUST LOOKING AT YOUR PHONE FOR FIVE SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS LIKING DRIVING BLINDFOLDED THE LENGTH OF NEARLY TWO FOOTBALL FIELDS.
