LANSING – Governor Gretchen Whitmer will decide if drivers will be allowed to hold their phones on the road in Michigan. Wednesday, the Senate sent legislation to her making Michigan a hands-free state. It’s already illegal to text and drive in Michigan. As early as July, it could be illegal to even hold your phone once you get in the driver’s seat, even while stopped in traffic. The Governor’s Highway Safety Association said 26 states, plus Washington, D.C., already ban people from using cell phones behind the wheel.
