The Minnesota State Troopers are cracking down on distracted drivers. State Trooper Sargent Jesse Grabow joined me on WJON. He says he sees people everyday looking at their phones and holding their phone while driving, which is against the law.

The 'hands-free' law is about to get even more strict here in Minnesota, thanks to a new provision passed by the state Legislature last month.

The Minnesota State Patrol is once again warning us about distracted driving.

Nearly 10,000 people have been ticketed for distracted driving since the state's new hands-free law went into effect on August 1st.

One positive thing this is showing is how responsive teen drivers have been to this new law. They had the least amount of citations.

In total Eagan police made 131 traffic stops, wrote 60 citations, and arrested one driver for operating under the influence.

Gov. Tim Walz is about to sign into law a bill that will require Minnesota motorists to use hands-free devices when they're driving while phoning.

To increase awareness and change dangerous behaviors, a heightened three-week distracted driving enforcement campaign is starting April 8th.

The Minnesota Senate has passed a bill to require drivers to use hands-free devices when they want to use their cellphones on the road.

Some have suggested 'distracted' driving should carry the same penalty as 'drunk' driving in Minnesota. What say you?

More than 100 people were seen driving distracted over the course of eight hours.
