Hands Free Laws and Employer Liability

Over the past 6 years, states have been instituting laws addressing the problem of driver cell phone use and traffic safety. Many states have defined hands-free laws and produced legislation that bans cell-phone use completely. Although employer responsibility isn't specifically defined in the cell phone legislation, there have been an increasing number of lawsuits relating to employer responsibility regarding mobile cell-phone use for employees. The implementation of a vehicle use policy that addresses cell phone use is an important first step in limiting employer liability.

Washington State Hands Free Driving Law

Washington State has a couple of new driving laws coming in 2008. One of the new laws is a text messaging ban. Washington may be the first state to ban text messaging while driving, however I don't believe they will be the last. The other new law is the hands-free driving law that prohibits the use of a cellular device while driving unless the driver is using a hands-free device. A hands-free device would be something like a bluetooth headset, car-kit or a wired headset connected to your cell phone.
