What is Georgia’s “hands-free” law?

Georgia's "hands-free" law mandates that drivers may not hold or support a phone while driving. This regulation is in place to minimize distractions caused by mobile device usage, which can significantly hinder a driver's attention on the road. Under this law, drivers are allowed to use their phones only if they are employed in a hands-free manner, meaning they must use Bluetooth or other hands-free devices. This law aims to increase road safety by ensuring that drivers keep both hands on the wheel and their focus on driving, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by distracted driving.
