Pennsylvania’s Distracted Driving Law, known as Paul Miller’s Law, bans the use of hand-held devices while driving. Effective June 5, 2025, the law prohibits as a primary offense any driver from using an interactive mobile device (IMD) while driving a motor vehicle.
Cell phone use and any activity that takes a driver’s attention away from the road are considered distracted driving behaviors - which endangers everyone on the road, including other drivers, passengers, pedestrians and bicyclists. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 16,384 people died and about 1.7 million people were injured in distraction-affected crashes from 2019 to 2023.

In 2024, there were 1,073 safety recalls, affecting more than 35 million vehicles and other automotive equipment. Millions of recalls go unrepaired every year, putting drivers, passengers, and others on the road at risk. Every vehicle recall is a safety-related issue, which means it’s essential to get the repair done as soon as possible. NHTSA urges drivers to check for recalls at least twice yearly, by adding “check for vehicle safety recalls” to their vital spring and fall to-do list, which may also include checking smoke detector batteries.
