Jan 1st | Not just New Year’s Day | No Texting Day

Posted on December 19, 2007 by Jo Soss

Washington State became the first state in the country to make texting while driving illegal. The bill was signed back in May of 2007 and the first part of that bill will be enforceable on January 1, 2008. On January 1, 2008 if you text on your cell phone while driving you can be liable for a $101 fine. Washington started the process after a man caused a five car pileup while using his Blackberry device. There are several states that have passed laws making talking on your cell phone without a hands free device illegal, but Washingtonis the first to outlaw texting while driving. In July, Washington will also join those states and make it illegal to talk on your cell phone without a hands free device.

I just wish these weren’t secondary offenses. I think talking on a cell phone or texting for anyone to see should be enough to get you pulled over! If you talk or text while driving - ZAP – ticket!!!
