The new law has been rolled out here in Florida putting a ban on texting while driving. Drivers cannot use a cell phone or a tablet while their vehicle is in motion.
It could be a $30 fine for the first offense. A second violation in five years will cost $60 and add 3 points to your drivers license.
The law includes reading or sending a text, email or instant message on a smartphone while driving. This means police have to stop drivers for another offense in order to write a ticket for the texting. The law allows texting at a red light or in a traffic jam.
Florida is the 41st state to put this law into effect.
