LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State Police have one message to drivers who use their smartphones while driving.

Get Your Head Out Of Your App!

The new public awareness campaign is reminding drivers to focus solely on driving when behind the wheel.

A recent study showed that 41% of drivers between the ages of 20 and 30 admitted to texting or checking email while driving.  Anyone caught texting while driving faces a first time fine of $100 and fines of $200 for any offense after that.

MSP is sharing information on social media with the hashtags #JustDrive and #DistractedDriving.
