April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and the Lewiston Police Department will be teaming up with the Idaho Transportation Department’s Office of Highway Safety to keep our communities safe with engaged driving. This is part of a nationwide effort called Connect to Disconnect.  Lewiston Police Department will be dedicating patrols to enforce Idaho’s new hands-free law. It’s illegal to use a handheld electronic device while driving – even while temporarily stopped at a red light or stop sign.
