New Bill would Fine people for using Phones in Cars

A new proposal at the Tennessee state capitol would require phone calls on the road to be hands-free.
The bill would fine drivers 50 dollars for talking on the phone without a hands-free device, unless it is an emergency.
Triple A reports that 23,000 crashes in 2015 involved a cell phone or electronic device.
The group blamed fifty-one deaths on electronic distractions.
If passed, the law would take effect January 2017.
