Texting and driving no longer allowed in Arkansas!

Larry, I like the new law and hope California and the rest of the nation adopts it. It's unfortunate people are not smart enough to know not to text and drive without having to regulate it.

I'm guilty of Texting While Driving, although very minimally.  But, I do more Reading My Blackberry Email While Driving, though.  Neither is safe, and I need to curtail that activity.  Thanks for the post!

Kathleen.....we do have that law. Yikes...you aren't texting and driving are you? :) Seriously, it wasn't included in the first driving law but went into effect maybe this last January? or last July...can't remember.

We know that agents would never text message while driving, don't we? Drive safely!

North Carolina passed a similar law recently. I'm all for it. I do sometimes talk on the phone, with a handsfree headset, but no texting or anything while driving - I used to occasionally, but ended up in a really bad wreck due to the person behind me doing it, so I quit.

All they have to do is be in one of those vehicles with such dark windows that no one can see through.  Then they can be seat-beltless, texting, talking, drinking and be invisible.  I think they should be cracking down on those vehicles.

Thanks Larry, I have a 19 & 16 year old. I will make sure I pass along this new laws!

Would you know the Statute number by chance?
