Why: Marijuana impairs your cognitive functions, leading to slower, not faster, reaction times. It makes it difficult to process sights and sounds quickly while driving.
Why: After alcohol, marijuana is the most frequently detected drug in drivers involved in crashes. It significantly affects your ability to react to what you see and hear on the road.
Why: In Massachusetts, if you receive a traffic citation for a civil motor vehicle infraction, you are required to respond within 20 days. You must either pay the fine or request a hearing to dispute the charge within this timeframe.
Why: Parking tickets are not considered moving traffic violations. Instead, they are administrative citations handled by the specific city or town where the vehicle was parked.
Why: In Massachusetts, drivers 18 and older are permitted to use mobile electronic devices only in hands-free mode. Texting or holding a phone while driving is strictly prohibited for all drivers.
