Yuma, Kingman Consider Ban On Hand-Held Devices While Driving

More and more towns across the state are either banning or considering bans on the use of hand-held devices while driving.

Yuma will vote on a proposed ordinance next month. If approved, that ban would prohibit the use of cellphones, tablets and video games.

Kingman is also considering a similar ban. A draft ordinance could go before its’ city council next month.
