Texting And Driving Laws Cleared Up

With stricter laws about moving over and texting and driving being passed, there might be confusion over what the new rules are and what is OK and what isn’t. Trooper Sean Ramsey, District 9’s safety and education officer says that it’s not just dangerous for police officers but dangerous for you as well if you don’t move over.

 

 

Ramsey says, people used to move over all the time, but things have changed and he wonders if technology is part of the problem.  With cell phone use, Trooper Ramsey says that just because you have it on speaker doesn’t mean you can hold the phone.

 

 

Ramsey warns though if you want to use your phone, don’t just pull over on the side of the road to use it, especially if you are on an interstate.

 

 

The new stiffer legislation for texting and driving just went into effect, last month.
