If you haven’t heard already, texting while driving is illegal. Not only is it illegal, but a recent law passed this July increased the penalty from a 2 point offense to a 3 point offense and up to $150 fine.
In August, 1,082 tickets were issued to drivers using hand-held devices while driving. In the first six months of 2011, before the new law was passed, texting while driving averaged 427 tickets monthly.According to an article posted by Reuters.com, police can now “solely stop drivers for using handheld devices while driving, making it a primary traffic offense.”
Be safe while driving. In 2009, “16% of fatal accidents on US roads were caused by distracted driving, and 20% of those injured in car accidents were involved in a crash where distracted driving was at least partly to blame,” (Reuters.com).
