San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California, Gets a Hands Free Cell Phone Enforcement Operation on November 13: the Orange County Sheriff Department Release of November 11 Says a Second Violation Within 36 Months Adds a Point to a Driver Record
Drivers in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County, California, will face an enforcement operation focused on distracted driving on November 13. The Orange County Sheriff Department said in a release dated November 11 that it will conduct the operation that day in the city of San Juan Capistrano, focused on drivers suspected of violating the hands free cell phone law.
Under current law, drivers are not allowed to hold a phone or other electronic communications device while operating a vehicle. Using a handheld cell phone while driving is punishable by a fine, and violating the hands free law for a second time within 36 months of a prior conviction for the same offense will result in a point being added to a driver record.
Sergeant K. Ishii said in the release that a driver focus should be on the road, not their phone.
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
