Distracted Driving Enforcement – April Reminder
This April, the Azusa Police Department is increasing enforcement on distracted driving, with a focus on drivers using handheld phones behind the wheel.
Here’s what you need to know:
• It is illegal to hold your phone while driving, including for calls, texts, or apps.
• Violations can result in fines.
• A second offense within 36 months will add a point to your driving record.
“A driver’s focus should be on the road, not their phone. That message can wait—your safety cannot.” – Corporal Jesse Landa
If you need to make a call or use directions, pull over to a safe location. Before driving, silence your phone or place it out of reach.
This enforcement effort is funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Let’s all do our part to keep our roads safe.
