 Massachusetts' hands-free driving law went into effect at midnight of February 23rd. It prohibits drivers from holding or using mobile phones while driving. Drivers are only allowed to use the phone when they are in hands-free mode. I've been trying to be hands-free for quite a while. I have an Apple CarPlay system in my car. I do it by voice. An Uber driver in Massachusetts who was willing to review his name expressed his concern. He said Uber drivers have to tap on the phone when they pick up and drop passengers. And he also said that the penalty fee is too high for Uber drivers. Until the end of March, police can issue a warning to first-time offenders. But after that, the penalty for a first offense is $100 fine. The penalty for a second offense is a $250 fine, and a third violation will mean a $500 fine. I guess they want to discourage you from doing it. People won't pay attention otherwise. I mean, I'm concerned with whether they can actually enforce this. I mean, I think it's going to be very hard to enforce. So I think the police are going to need some special training. It seemed to be a small step to put on our phone, but it's never easy to break a behavior pattern. As challenges emerge, Massachusetts still need more time to get along with its hands-free driving law. For BU News TV, this is Andy Zhang.
