HANDS-FREE DRIVING STARTS TODAY! 📱🛑 The Lackawanna County Highway Safety Program reminds county residents that enforcement of Paul Miller's Law banning cell phone use by Pennsylvania drivers begins on today. Drivers cannot hold, physically support or use a handheld phone or electronic device for texting, internet browsing or recording. This remains in effect even when temporarily stopped in traffic or at a red light.

Penalties start at $50 plus court costs and other fees. This legislation was named in memory of Paul Miller, a Scranton resident tragically killed in 2010 when a distracted driver crossed the center divide and struck his vehicle.
