The Lawrenceville law enforcement community aggressively enforces the Virginia “Hands Free” driving law.

This offense is a moving violation demerit point offense. A conviction will post to the driving record. However, there are exceptions. The hands free law does not apply to drivers who are lawfully parked or stopped, drivers reporting emergencies, and drivers using an amateur or citizens band radio.

However, we convinced the Judge to reduce the matter to the lowest offense possible called defective equipment. This is a no points non moving violation.
