AB 1911: Hands-Free Cell Phone Requirement for CA Drivers (2002)
Share this pageSummary
AB 1911 (2002) would have required California motorists to use a hands-free device when talking on a cell phone while driving. By requiring drivers to use headsets, ear-pieces, or speaker phones—all of which qualify as “hands free”—the number of cell phone-related distracted-driving accidents would drop, increasing the safety of our roads and saving lives.
