Not surprisingly, disabling mobile devices including cell phones with manual texting features and video devices are listed as the main priority in this guideline from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Texting and driving continues to cause car accidents in California and throughout the United States. The California Vehicle Code specifically states as follows: 23123. (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while using a wireless telephone unless that telephone is specifically designed and configured to allow hands-free listening and talking, and is used in that manner while driving. 23123.5. (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while using an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read a text-based ( )1communication, unless the electronic wireless communications device is specifically designed and configured to allow voiceoperated and hands-free operation to dictate, send, or listen to a text-based communication, and it is used in that manner while driving. (b) As used in this section “write, send, or read a text-based communication” means using an electronic wireless communications device to manually communicate with any person using a text-based communication, including, but not limited to, communications referred to as a text message, instant message, or electronic mail.

Limiting Texting, phone, and other electronic device use while Driving is great in the prevention of car accidents, injury and death. Protecting drivers, occupants, bystanders and others on the roadway from themselves is the purpose. Good article. The Hoffmann Law Firm, L.L.C.
