Many Connecticut lawmakers are now considering increasing the number of penalties issued for violating the various distracted driving laws. This could also include the possibility of confiscating the violators’ phones and licenses.
The state has also banned texting while driving, being one of the 8 states along with the District of Columbia, to make it mandatory for drivers to keep a hands-free communication device at all times when driving. But many lawmakers feel that this is not enough.

The state laws have also prohibited school bus drivers and drivers with a learner’s permit or those under the age of 18 from using mobile phones while driving. Another proposal retains that a drivers license should be suspended for 24 hours if they have been issued summons for 2 or more incidents of texting and driving.
