As of tomorrow –July 23, 2017 — it will be against the law for Washington State drivers to use hand-held cell phones while they are driving. This applies to all electronic devices, including tablets, laptops and video games. Tickets for driving while using hand-held electronics will go on a driver’s record and be reported to their insurance provider:
Even if you’re stopped at a light;
Or your kid is texting you;
Or you just need to check the score;
Or tell someone you’re running late.
