Description

Doug Dahl with The Wise Drive tackles the question of whether drinking coffee while driving is illegal. He explains Washington’s “dangerously distracted driving” law, how it differs from the cell phone statute, and reminds readers that any behavior—coffee included—that interferes with safe driving can lead to a violation. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-is-drinking-coffee-while-driving-too-distracting/ #Opinion #DougDahl #TheWiseDrive #WashingtonState #TrafficSafety #DistractedDriving #TargetZero #DrivingLaws #PublicEducation #RoadSafety
