    Michigan has made it illegal to manually use a cell phone or other electronic device while driving. Under the new law, drivers cannot hold or support a device with their hands, arms, or shoulders, even if it is mounted. Drivers are limited to a single touch to operate their device and cannot manually engage in activities like making calls, sending texts, or using apps while driving. Violating this law is a primary offense that carries fines and potential community service for repeat offenses. The law takes effect on June 30, 2023.
