Driver distraction includes all activities that divert attention and full engagement from the task of driving. Washington law RCW 46.61.672 bans all handheld cell phone use while driving, even when stopped in traffic. Violation of this law is a primary traffic offense. Some exceptions, such as contacting emergency services apply. Commercial drivers may be able to use electronic devices in some cases. The monetary penalty can be up to $250, and can be more for subsequent violations. Per the statute: “Personal electronic device" means any portable electronic device that is capable of wireless communication or electronic data retrieval and is not manufactured primarily for hands-free use in a motor vehicle. "Personal electronic device" includes, but is not limited to, a cell phone, tablet, laptop, two-way messaging device, or electronic game. "Personal electronic device" does not include two-way radio, citizens band radio, or amateur radio equipment. The statute has other definitions for “driving” and “using.” Washington law RCW 46.61.673 defines “dangerously distracted” as “a person who engages in any activity not related to the actual operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that interferes with the safe operation of such motor vehicle on any highway.” The penalty for violating this statute is $30 and can only be imposed if there is a primary traffic infraction.
