Ban On Zooming And Driving

 A new law effective January 2024, amends the Illinois Vehicle Code.  It provides that a person may not operate a motor vehicle on a roadway while using an electronic communication device, including using an electronic communication device to participate in any video conferencing application or to access any social media site. Excludes the exemptions that permit a driver to use an electronic communication device in hands-free or voice-operated mode or by pressing a single button to activate or terminate a voice communication when a person is using the electronic communication device to watch or stream video, participate in any video conferencing application, or access any social media site. #attorney, #attorneys, #trafficlawyer, #lawyers,
