By now, everyone knows that you can't drive and talk on the phone. OR ride your bike on the phone either. (Sorry, BPD....I did that one today.) Anyway, if you need any clarification on the new law, the Bozeman Police Department made a video PSA.
Bozeman's Distracted Driving Law went into effect on Tuesday, January 17, 2012. There was, however, a 30 day grace period from that date in which violators would only receive a warning. Time's up on that Bozeman. Today is the day that using handheld devices while driving within city limits is a ticketable offense.
Billings recently began enforcing a ban on cell phones while driving and Bozeman could be doing just the same. The bill is beginning to gain support here in the valley. Let us know what you think.
