How are we doing, Colorado, now that it’s illegal to hold your cellphone in your hand while driving?
Since the state passed a law to ban hand-held mobile devices while driving and it went into effect Jan. 1, Colorado State Patrol has had its hands full with the new law.
Colorado State Patrol has issued 94 citations to Colorado drivers who were using their cellphones or mobile devices while behind the wheel, more than half of the total number of citations issued in all of 2024, according to a Colorado Department of Transportation news release.
The number accounts for a 135% increase in citations compared to the same time period last year.
