Description
Effective June 5, 2025, Pennsylvania law prohibits as a primary offense any driver from using an interactive mobile device (IMD) while driving a motor vehicle.
This prohibition includes interacting with a mobile device while the vehicle is stopped, such as at a stop sign or a traffic light.
A driver may use an interactive mobile device if the driver moves the vehicle to the side of or off a highway and halts in a location where the vehicle can safely remain stationary. The hands-free law allows for an emergency use exception if it is necessary to communicate with a law enforcement official or other emergency service to prevent injury to persons or property.
