Planning on making a visit to Bash at the Beach, stopping by the newly-venued UTC Regional, or just traveling through? Make sure that you are using a hands-free device on your cell phone while traveling through CT.
Starting tomorrow, new CT laws go into effect that restrict cell phone use in a vehicle without the use of a hands-free device. The main points can be found in this article (http://wfsb.com/Global/story.asp?S=3919867):
CONNECTICUT -- Today is the last day you can talk on a hand held cell phone in our state while driving.
Starting tomorrow, you have to use a hands-free device. If you're caught not using one and talking on the phone, you will receive a written warning.
If caught again, you will receive a $100 fine. The new law also prohibits school bus drivers and people under 18 years of age from using cell phones while driving altogether.
The full version of the law can be found here. (http://www.cga.ct.gov/2005/act/Pa/2005PA-00159-R00HB-06722-PA.htm) I know there's other states that have had the same regulations for a while, but since it's new, I thought I'd give a heads up. Happy traveling!
