Monday, April 1st, the Tennessee Highway Safety Office is partnering with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Tennessee Department of Transportation, local law enforcement, and other traffic safety partners for “Operation Hands-Free” to crack down on violators of Tennessee’s Hands-Free Law during National Distracted Driving Awareness Month.

If you see unsafe driving behaviors, you can reach THP dispatch by dialing *THP (847) using your hands-free device or having a passenger make the call. Exercise good judgment and be safe.

According to Tennessee’s Hands-Free Law, it is illegal for drivers to hold a cell phone or mobile device with any part of their body. Violation of this law can result in points on your driving record.
