Current Colorado law prohibits a driver under 18 years of age from using a cell phone while driving, but a new bill would expand that to anyone over 18 unless they’re using a hands-free accessory.
According to the Colorado Department of Transportation, more than 10,000 crashes in 2020 involved a distracted driver resulting in 68 fatalities.
The bill would need to be passed by the state legislature and then signed by the governor to become law.
