Boosting Traffic Law Awareness:
With 2021 preliminary data showing as much as a 10% increase in deaths on our roadways, the Pennsylvania State Police and PennDOT are marking Pennsylvania's Highway Safety Law Awareness Week, Feb. 20-26, by focusing on laws that impact crashes and fatalities each year.
Distracted Driving: Pennsylvania's texting-while-driving ban prohibits as a primary offense any driver from using an interactive wireless communication device to send, read or write a text-based communication while his or her vehicle is in motion.
Seat Belts: Pennsylvania law requires any occupant younger than age 18 to buckle up when riding in a vehicle, as well as drivers and front-seat passengers. Children under the age of 2 must be secured in a rear-facing car seat, and children under the age of 4 must be restrained in an approved child safety seat. Children must ride in a booster seat until their eighth birthday.
Impaired Driving: Pennsylvania law prohibits individuals from driving while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. Penalties for driving while impaired depend on the individual's level of impairment and prior offenses and can include up to $10,000 in fines, up to five years in prison, up to 18 months license suspension, one year of ignition interlock, and more. For more information on the penalties, check out Pennsylvania's DUI Law.
Speeding: Pennsylvania law on speed restrictions requires motorists to drive at reasonable and prudent speeds for the current conditions. Drivers must drive at a safe and appropriate speed when approaching and crossing intersections, railroad grade crossings, curves, hill crests, narrow or winding roads, and when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians, other traffic, or weather or highway conditions.
Pennsylvania's Young Driver Law: Pennsylvania licenses young drivers through a three-stage program, reflecting the driver's gradual progression in skill, experience and decision-making ability. The law has proven effective in reducing crashes and fatalities for 16- and 17-year-olds.
