Paul Miller was killed in July of 2010, when a distracted tractor trailer driver crashed head-on into his car.<\/p>\n
\/<\/p>\n
14 years after that tragic day for the Miller family, Governor Josh Shapiro signed into law Senate Bill 37.<\/p>\n
The Paul Miller Law prohibits the use of handheld devices while driving or stopped at traffic.<\/p>\n
On June 5th, the local law enforcement reminded Erie County drivers to put down your phone when behind the wheel of your vehicle.<\/p>\n
The E.P.D. Motorcycle Unit had five of their eight officers out patrolling East 28 and East Avenue on Friday.<\/p>\n
For the entire day, they issued 58 citations including 41 cell phone violations.<\/p>\n
The operation also led to individuals driving without a license and cars that were not inspected.<\/p>\n
Under Paul Miller\u2019s Law, drivers can still use their phones to alert emergency responders and, if they are using hands-free technology, to make phone calls, use a GPS, and listen to music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Miller was killed in July of 2010, when a distracted tractor trailer driver crashed head-on into his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212252,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[136,138,137,139],"class_list":["post-212251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-erie","tag-erie","tag-erie-headlines","tag-erie-news","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
