Distracted driving poses a major threat to road safety in Oregon. From 2017 to 2021, over 26,000 accidents were caused by distracted drivers, resulting in 194 fatalities and thousands of injuries. Oregon’s distracted driving law strictly prohibits using handheld devices while driving, including talking, texting, or emailing. Violations can lead to hefty fines and, in severe cases, jail time. Exceptions exist, such as for emergency responders or voice-to-text for those over 18, but it’s best to keep your phone away on the road.
