Texting and Distracted Driving Laws

Texting and distracted driving laws are regulations aimed at reducing accidents caused by drivers who engage in activities that take their attention away from the road. These laws generally prohibit texting while driving, as it significantly increases the risk of crashes. Enforcement and penalties vary by state, but violations can result in fines, points on your driving record, or increased insurance rates. The goal of these laws is to promote safe driving practices and protect all road users by discouraging distractions that compromise driver focus and reaction time.
