Oregon City, Oregon (August 6, 2015, 1:30 pm): The Oregon City Police Department will be conducting distracted driving enforcement in various locations throughout the city on Monday, August 31, 2015, between 11:00am and 3:00pm. Distracted Driving has quickly become one of the biggest key factors in crashes across the United States, according to NHTSA, including teen driver deaths. In Oregon, a driver may not use their cell phone to make calls, send text messages or use any other feature while it's being manipulated by their hands and while they are in control of a vehicle. Adult drivers may use hands free accessories as long as they are not using their hands. Drivers under the age of 18 may not use a phone at all, including hands free devices. The first conviction of using a cell phone while driving is a Class D Violation and carries a $160 fine. A second conviction is an enhanced violation and could carry a fine of $500.
