Des Moines, Iowa – The state Transportation Commission has approved rules for the new hands free cellphone law that could lead to violators losing their driver’s license. The DOT’s Kathleen Meradith-Ayers the new rules make a hands-free violation impact your driving record.
Meradith-Ayers says they step in when you get too many violations.
Meradith-Ayers says your license can be suspended for 90 days after you reach the three moving violations.
Iowa has a graduated driver’s license system for young people where they start with a restricted license before earning a regular one. Meradith-Ayers says a hands-free violation carries more weight for them.
The change needs one final approval from the Administrative Rules Committee and they will then be active.
