Since the hands-free driving law went into effect in Iowa last year, over 2,400 citations and 1,900 warnings have been issued to drivers caught using their phones behind the wheel. A new enforcement push starting Monday aims to educate drivers on the importance of driving hands-free and help them comply with the law. Despite the law, some drivers still admit to using their phones while driving, but options like speakerphone, AUX cords, and phone mounts can help them stay hands-free. The law prohibits using a phone beyond one touch, and enforcement efforts seek to increase compliance and road safety.
