Good Afternoon  MARA

 

  I was talking to 2 Sargentsts. From EB Police department about this situation. There suggestion was to carry a copy of your ham license and the law that follows in you vechial. The jest was to help a exuberant  Officer. Just make sure you have 1 hand on the steringweal. 

 Yes Gov. Baker did sign the bill.

 

 

New State Driving Laws Take Effect

Massachusetts has settled on a one-hand-on-the-wheel rule for mobiles. The state's two ARRL Section Managers report they have received confirmation that the state's distracted driving law does not apply to two-way mobile radio operation. The new law "permits use of a federally licensed two-way radio, provided that one hand remains on the steering wheel at all times," except as provided in sections 8M, 12A, and 13B of the law. -- Thanks to Western Massachusetts SM Ray Lajoie, KB1LRL, and ARRL Eastern Massachusetts SM Tom Walsh, K1TW
