Jordan Hutson, 18, admits he talks on his cell phone while driving.
The Washington State Patrol (WSP) put the recent high school grad’s skills to the test earlier this week.
Hutson was one of five young drivers who took to the roughly 4-mile-long course at the WSP Academy in Shelton Monday morning to test how talking on a cell phone affects a person’s driving ability.
As of July 1, talking on a cell phone or sending text messages while driving will be illegal.

As the valedictorian, Jewett shone brightly in the classroom, but she was active in the community at-large as well, donating countless hours to help others in need.

Crews will be doing work to reinforce girders on the bridge. A complete closure of the bridge is necessary because the 1930 structure is too narrow for traffic, equipment and the work crew to be on the bridge at the same time.

Although the investigation into a Wednesday afternoon traffic accident involving two motorists and a Bremerton Police Department (BPD) motorcycle patrolman continued Thursday afternoon, at least one fact was already clear.
A sheriff’s deputy responded to a call in the 6800 block of Old Military Road NE in East Bremerton at 6:30 p.m. June 22 for reports of shots fired from a home. The deputy arrived and two houses in the area were not marked, so she asked women sitting on the front porch of one home what the house numbers were. One of the women stood up and said, “You’re here for me. We fired three shots off the deck.”
