We are determined to get electronic devices out of the hands of drivers in Colorado. Bikers seem to witness and encounter more of this dangerous behavior than other drivers, and most certainly some of the most injured when distracted driving causes an accident.
Sign the Petition
We support SB20-065 because we believe this law will help make Colorado roads safer for everyone.
If passed, all drivers would be prohibited from using a wireless communication device unless used in a hands-free manner. Navigation systems would be permitted as long as the address information was entered prior to operating the vehicle or in an emergency situation.
If passed, all drivers would be prohibited from doing any of the following with an electronic mobile device:
- Holding the device in the driver’s hand
- Physically supporting the device with the driver’s body
- Watching a video or communicating by video
- Text messaging of any kind
If you believe Colorado should put drivers, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrian safety ahead of operating a device while driving, we urge you to support this bill and sign our petition.

If you allow us to add you to our mailing list, we will be able to keep you updated on the progress of SB20-065. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Our intention is to use the petition to illustrate to the various committees that many Coloradans support the bill. The list may be submitted to the committees and would be public record.
We will not sell or share your contact information with any person or organization.

No more texting and driving!
Alert: Support a Bill That Would Increase Fines for Texting and Driving — Did you know that the current fine for texting while driving in Colorado is only $50? That is a ridiculously low fine for a crime that impairs and distracts drivers as much as drinking and driving. On January 25th at 1:30pm, I testified before the Senate Committee for State Veterans Military Affairs (an odd committee for this bill, but that’s where it is) and argued that the fine for texting and driving should match the crime.
