A reminder about the new law that West View Police Officers are enforcing on distracted driving. Please review the information below. There is also a link to PennDOT’s page with more information.

Effective June 5, 2025, Paul Miller’s Law takes effect across Pennsylvania, making it illegal to use a handheld device while driving - even at red lights or in traffic.

This law honors Paul Miller Jr., who was killed by a distracted driver, and aims to reduce crashes caused by distracted driving.

Key points:
• No handheld phone use (texting, calling, scrolling, etc.)
• Hands-free devices are allowed
• Emergency calls (911) are permitted

For the first year, violations will result in a warning. Starting June 6, 2026, fines begin ($50 + costs), with stronger penalties in serious cases.

Distracted driving caused over 11,200 crashes in PA in 2023—more than alcohol-related crashes. Put the phone down and help keep our roads safe.
