Delaware Bans Texting and Driving
Jul 13, 2010
Days after Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick signed the bill to ban texting while driving, another state banned distracted driving as well. Delaware has become the 30th state to ban drivers from texting or holding cell phones while behind the wheel.
The Delaware texting ban will also carry fines on handheld cell phone use. The new law prohibits any use of texting, pagers, and PDAs while driving. There are a few exceptions, though, for hands-free devices (such as, headsets or wireless Bluetooth devices).
We applaud Delaware law makers for proposing and enacting the ban on distracted driving which claims thousands of lives every year.
