Virginia's distracted-driving crackdown is coming to DC-area commuters

For many Washington DC-area residents, driving into Virginia is part of the daily routine. But crossing the Potomac also means following Virginia's rules for cellphone use behind the wheel. Virginia is reminding drivers of those restrictions through a new statewide distracted-driving campaign, while a recently enacted law adds another restriction on how motorists can use their phones behind the wheel. The restrictions cover everything from handheld calls and texting to newer rules targeting livestreaming behind the wheel. What should DC-area drivers know about Virginia's distracted-driving rules? Virginia has prohibited drivers from holding cellphones or other wireless communication devices while driving since 2021. That means drivers cannot pick up their phones to read or send messages, scroll through social media or make handheld calls while operating a vehicle. Drivers can still make calls using hands-free technology. Navigation apps are also permitted as long as motorists don't holding their phones or manually enter information while driving. A newer restriction took effect July 1. Under House Bill 320, drivers cannot livestream while operating a moving vehicle. A first conviction carries a fine of up to $500, a second conviction results in a mandatory 30-day driver's license suspension and a third or subsequent conviction
