New Georgia Law Bans Driving While Texting
More and more states are passing laws that make it illegal to drive while using a text messaging device. With studies coming out showing the dangers of driving while texting, often comparing the practice to driving while intoxicated, and the increased number of serious auto accidents involving drivers who were distracted while driving because of their cell phones, these laws banning driving while texting are becoming more prevalent.
Under the new law in Georgia, a driver who is caught driving while texting may receive a ticket and a $150 fine with a point added to his/her license.
