Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You drive through a crash prevention zone and hold your phone to read a text. An officer gives you a ticket for using a personal electronic device. How is this ticket different from one outside the zone?
Correct answer: The base fine is doubled, and it cannot be waived or reduced
Why
Crash prevention zones are roads with more serious crashes than similar roads, where police increase enforcement. Until 1 January 2029, the law allows these zones only on set parts of U.S. 395 and highway 12 near Pasco; after that date, other high-crash roads can become zones. The safest choice everywhere is to put the phone away before you drive.
