Notice how we said “ any communication you are having with your fingers on the phone will be illegal and cannot be done.” This means that the law lets drivers use their phone to talk but, not to text. BUT, as of Oct. 1, 2019 you can also get stopped for talking on the phone if you’re found in a school zone or in a construction zone.

But I use my phone as a GPS?

Yeah i do too, and the law has an exception for vehicle navigation as it’s almost impossible now a days to drive around the city without some sort of navigational guidance.

We at AB AUTO DRIVING & TRAFFIC SCHOOL are more than happy that this is now the law in Florida as it will lower distracted drivers on the road. We want all drivers to focus on driving and make it home safely.

I hope this has helped you understand how the new law works !
