Iowa lawmakers urged to pass hands free driving law
Iowa advocates and law enforcement urge strong hands free driving legislation amid surveys showing 85 percent of about 1,500 respondents back banning handheld devices. Statewide polls also indicate two thirds support banning holding phones while driving. Officials cite reduced distracted driving after similar laws in Ohio and other states and call for clear, enforceable provisions with limited exceptions.
