September means that the new South Carolina Hands-Free Law is now in effect. For the next six months, as required by state law, officers will be issuing warnings for those in violation for using their mobile phone while driving.

Beginning March 1, 2026, a citation for a violation of the Hands-Free Law will have a fine of $100 for the first offense, and $200 and two points assessed to your license for each additional offense.

Let's all work together for safer roadways in the Town of Lexington, SC by putting mobile phones down while driving.
