Handheld Mobile Phone Use While Driving Illegal in Virginia
Virginia is now a “hands free” driving state. It is illegal for any person to hold any handheld personal communications device while driving a moving motor vehicle on the highways in Virginia. This is a new law that became effective on January 1, 2021 according to Va. Code 46.2-818.2. A violation of this law is a moving violation demerit point offense. Unfortunately, drivers from other states passing through Virginia cannot claim ignorance of the law. Contact us for help with your case!

We were able to appear in Court for our client without him having to return. We were successful with arguments to protect our client. We convinced the Judge to dismiss the case.
