𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲– The Wayne County Sheriff’s Office is partnering with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) to increase patrols aimed at reducing speeding and distracted driving on Indiana roadways.

Indiana’s Hands-Free Law, which took effect in 2020, prohibits drivers from holding mobile devices while operating a motor vehicle. Calls may only be made using hands-free technology. To help prevent dangerous driving behaviors, ICJI and law enforcement encourage motorists to:

• Put the phone down and avoid multitasking while driving
• Obey posted speed limits and adjust speed for road conditions
• Allow extra travel time, especially during busy commute periods
• Keep a safe distance between vehicles

🚨One distracted moment can change a life forever — yours or someone else’s. Drive safely or face the consequences. Put the Phone Away or Pay. 📵
