Texting And Driving Now A No-No In Georgia
To all of my texting and driving friends: the party is over. Just received this in my inbox- Georgia is becoming a text free zone:
If you do not already know about the new Georgia “texting” when driving law, here is the text of the new statute. This is effective July 1, 2010. Please note that this statute makes it illegal to write, send, or read text messages when driving. It also applies to reading texts while at a traffic light or when the vehicle is idling. Pass this along to friends and family.
Remember that if you are involved in a car accident while violating this
law and someone is seriously injured, in litigation the defendant will be subject to a claim for punitive damages.
