Texting While Driving Can Cost You!

We have see state and local governments crack down on talking on a cell phone while driving, but now the push has been to include texting as well. Sending text messages while driving, I think, is worse than being on a call. I’ve done a few text messages while driving at high speeds and have almost had a major problem at least 3 times. In some states a ticket for texting while driving can cost you over $150. This is enough to get me to just call the person, if at least I am allowed to do that legally.

The Governor’s Highway Saftey Association has a comprehensive site that shows which acts with a cell phone are legal and which aren’t. This is very hand to know espcecially if you are traveling. You could be on a cell phone call then cross a state line and get pulled over since it could be illegal in that state.

If anything always have a headset with you as most places allow you to have a hands free headset instead of holding up the phone to your ear while on a call. I’m sure that the list will change over time as local and state governments are just beginning to address the issue as more and more people carry cell phones. Stay safe and avoid that ticket by not text messaging while driving
