TEXTING WHILE DRIVING

Charlotte Traffic Ticket Attorney

You should pull over if you need to make a phone call or need to text someone

Several states have enacted anti-texting and hands free cell phone legislation. People have been seriously injured by drivers who were talking and texting while driving. If you need to make a call make sure you have a cordless handset available so that your hands are free to drive on the road. If you need to send an email or text, pull over to the side of the road and send the email or text.

TEXTING/CELL PHONE USAGE AND DRIVING

Driving requires full attention, concentration, reading, and reflexes. Cell phone usage can compromise a driver’s ability to drive safely.

Cell Phone Usage: Most states have enacted legislation banning cell phone usage while operating a vehicle, unless the device is hands free. Some states like New York have gone so far as to ban the use of a cell phone even if the driver has employed a hands fee device.

Texting and Driving: According to the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration, 16 % of all fatal crashes in 2008 were related to texting and driving incidents. A person who is texting and driving is twenty-three (23) more times likely to get involved I a crash then someone who is not. (See http://www.nhtsa.gov/). 35 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam ban text messaging for all drivers. This means that an officer can issue a ticket if you are caught driving and texting.
