Is It a Traffic Violation to Drive with Your Hand Out the Window?
1 Answers
Driving with your hand out the window is a traffic violation. Here are the relevant details: 1. Hazards: Many people habitually extend their left arm out the window while driving, holding the steering wheel with just their right hand, which is unsafe over time. To ensure safety, drivers should always stay focused and observe road conditions. Extending a hand out the window not only risks injury from other vehicles but may also prevent timely reactions to emergencies. 2. Impeding Safe Driving: On highways, drivers extending their hands out the window is considered behavior that impedes safe driving and will result in a 2-point penalty.
