Tennessee’s Hands-free law may come with harsher penalties if a new bill proposed by some Lawmakers becomes law.
It will establish a number of points that may be charged to a person’s driving record after two or more violations of the Hands Free Law.
Lawmakers say adding more consequences to distracted driving will help save lives.
Currently, for the first violation of the Hands Free Law, you can receive a fine of up to $50. With this proposed bill, drivers that accumulate 12 or more points on their driving record within any 12-month period could lose their driving privileges for a period of six to 12 months if they don’t request a hearing.
