Text, Talk, Ticket

Washington State's recent move to regulate cell phone usage while driving a motor vehicle takes aim at a steadily increasing number of traffic collisions, and the injuries and deaths associated to those crashes, all caused by inattentive drivers. Kent Police would like to share more information on the law and distracted driving.
