TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Two bills introduced in the Kansas Senate are aimed at reducing distracted driving caused by using cellphones while driving.
One bill would prohibit drivers from holding a phone or other wireless device up to their ear.
The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/2ksnPlq ) the Kansas Department of Transportation supports the bill. The department says about 92 people died each year from distracted driving between 2009 and 2014.
A second bill would outlaw using a wireless device in a school zone or construction zone. It makes an exception for using hands-free devices.
