New Years Resolution: Hands-Free Driving – Put the Phone Down!

The Citizens Against Distracted Driving South Dakota group is purposing that everyone have a New Years Resolution for 2026 of "Put the Phones Down when Driving."

The life you save could be yours! There are over 32 states that currently have a hands-free law on the books. The last state to pass a law like this was Iowa in 2025. Citizens Against Distracted Driving South Dakota is encouraging everyone to begin this as a New Years Resolution for 2026. The adage is that it takes 21 days to make a habit, while science has proven that depending on the complexity of the habit, it may take longer. Start the new year with forming this important safety habit.
