8 Comments on West Virginia Texting and Driving Law Effective July 1, 2012
Wow, they said it was coming. I guess here it is! Thank you for the info Rebecca!
Rebecca,
I'll have you know that the texting was not too distracting. It was when I added on answering emails and eating and texting and driving that it got too much. LOL.
But seriously, I can safely agree that even the best of us are distracted by this and I have installed apps that allow for VERBAL texting responses. 1 is called VLINGO. Check it out. It is much easier to speak your response than to type it.
Are you still texting and driving? If so... STOP IT! Albuquerque is a total hands free city and they mean it. Camera's and cops will catch you and you will pay the price. No call or text is worth killing or being killed over.
Rebecca: This is a good law that should be mandatory in all 50 states. Texting and driving is extremely dangerous.
Howdy and morning Rebecca
Rebecca my friend, here in New Hampshire there is no Laws banning folks from holding and talking on a Cell Phone as they drive. The reason for that has to do with all the Cops from all over the State and the Police Associations threaten to walk off, if a ban of driving and talking on Cell Phones was passed,because the Cops would not be able to do it. There was a ban passed on texting while driving, but the Police Associations and Cops said they would not enforce it, here agin it had to do with because it would keep the Cops from being able to do it. To me the Cops were and are wrong with their way of thinking. I see Cops talking and texting on their Cell Phones as they drive all the time.
Have a good one

Rebecca... suggested! Everyone should watch the video. It goes straight to the heart! This video should be played on television, Internet ads, in movie theaters, schools, and all public places to get the message across LOUD AND CLEAR!
Texting and Driving is dangerous and not worth the price you pay - if it's the last thing you do - everyone on AR should pass this video on and click suggest.
Rebecca,
As we were out and about driving on errands, I saw a sign on the 101 freeway that the fine for texting is $159. Even though our phone calls come through the radio, on occasion we will pull over to give full attention to the conversation...I just hope that people get it. A
Wayne, you are welcome.
Kevin, thanks for the tip, I will be checking out VLINGO.
John, so true no call or text is worth killing or being killed over
Anita, I agree this is a good law and should be mandatory in all 50 states.
Dale, that is unbelievable that cops do this and here I thought they were interested in saving lives.
Patricia, thanks for the suggest.
Alexandra, how do you get the calls to come through your radio?? what service?
