Almost a year after the state's amended hands-free law went into effect, which outlawed all device usage while behind the wheel, data from a technology firm that tracks driver behavior in Michigan found on average a 12% reduction in distracted driving.
That amounts to 3,815 fewer crashes and 17 fewer deaths, Ryan McMahon of Cambridge Mobile Telematics said in an interview with the Michigan Department of Transportation.
