SUMMARY: The Arkansas State Police has launched a “Put the Phone Away or Pay” campaign to combat distracted driving. Troopers will actively monitor drivers for phone use and emphasize the risks associated with distracted driving, which is a leading cause of accidents in Arkansas and nationwide. In 2022, distracted driving led to 3,338 fatalities and nearly 290,000 injuries. The campaign warns that fines for phone use while driving range from $25 to $250 for first offenses, increasing to $500 for subsequent violations. The initiative aims to save lives, with enforcement running through April 14th.
Arkansas State Police are cracking down on distracted drivers with a new phone-free campaign. Now, drivers caught texting and driving will have to pay a fine.
