Put those smartphones down people, because Republic Act 10913, better known as the Anti-Distracted Driving Act, will finally be in full effect by this Thursday, May 18, 2017. That's nearly one year since the bill passed the Senate and 15 days since its Implementing Rules and Regulations were published.

In the bill, distracted driving is defined as "using a mobile communications device to write, send, or read text-based communication or to make or receive calls, and other similar acts," as well as to use "an electronic entertainment or computing device to play games, watch movies, surf the internet, compose messages, read e-books, perform calculations, and other similar acts."

*First offense – P5,000 fine

*Second offense – P10,000 fine

*Third offense – P15,000 fine and three-month suspension of driver's license

*Fourth offense – P20,000 fine and revocation of driver's license

Also take note that the law applies to vehicles which are stopped at a red light or pulled over on the side of the road "in compliance with a traffic regulation."


Fyi. Now you know.

Sa mga waze users. Ready na mo and hide those cellphone nga naa sa dashboard. You never know kay depende ni sa translation sa enforcer.

Updated: as of May 23, 2017
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) ordered Tuesday to halt the implementation of Republic Act 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act. The decision was reached after some senators called for the temporary suspension of the new law due to some confusion on the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).

OFFICIAL STATEMENT
To respond to the call of both Houses of Congress to defer the implementation of ADDA, the Department of Transportation (DOTr), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the PNP Highway Patrol Group (HPG) take heed to the Congress, being the authors of the law, to defer the enforcement of Republic Act 10913 or the Anti-Distracted Driving Act (ADDA).
Relative thereto, the DOTr shall immediately revive its Technical Working Group to conduct a review of the IRR in coordination with concerned stakeholders.
An Information and Education Campaign (IEC) shall commence as soon as the new IRR is crafted.
In the meantime, we invite the public to continue the constructive discussion on this new law so as to contribute on how we could all better promote road safety, discipline, and responsible driving. ###
