Hands-Free Driving Law Takes Full Effect in Massachusetts

Now, people who have their cell phone in their hand when driving in Massachusetts are under threat of hefty fines. The state's distracted driving law officially took effect on Wednesday, April 1, as CBS Boston reports.

From February 23, when the law went into effect, to March 31, offenders were supposed to receive a warning if stopped by police. Now, however, they are supposed to be fined.
