Summary
Can you legally text at a stoplight in Delaware? The state’s hands-free law bans phone use while driving, but since a stopped car isn’t technically “in motion,” the law leaves room for interpretation — creating a gray area where some argue it’s okay, while police and legal experts say it’s still risky and often leads to tickets. Meanwhile, states like Pennsylvania are tightening rules, banning phone use even at red lights. Bottom line: even hands-free devices can cause dangerous inattention — put the phone down until you’re parked. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
