ATLANTA, Ga. — Beginning July 1, Georgia motorists will have to put down their phones while they’re driving, thanks to the new Hands-Free Georgia Act signed by Gov. Nathan Deal.
The law prohibits motorists from holding their phone while driving. You can still talk and even text while you’re driving – as long as you’re using hands-free technology.
The law has sparked a lot of questions - like, can I still listen to music on my phone while I drive? We'll answer them from 7-9 p.m. Tuesday on WSB Radio and livestream on wsbradio.com and WSB Radio's Facebook page.
The live show also will stream at wsbtv.com and ajc.com. To send questions via Twitter, use the hashtag #HandsFreeGA.
Mark Arum and Richard Elliot will co-host a discussion of the law with WSB’s “traffic troopers” -- Doug Turnbull and Mark McKay -- and a live studio audience. Also on the show will be the legislation’s author, state Rep. John Carson, R-Marietta, and WSB Radio legal analyst Phil Holloway.
