Michigan banning Texting while Driving

Michigan is quickly becoming one more state to ban texting while driving. Legislation originally passed by the Michigan Senate was approved by the House also on April 20th, with a vote of 74 to 33.

The ban, which could take effect as soon as July 1, makes texting while driving a primary offense, empowering police officers to pull drivers over for that reason alone.  Offenders could face first-time fines of $100 and subsequent penalties of $200.

The move has so far been applauded by citizens groups and police departments across Michigan.

The dangers of texting and all other forms of distracted driving are a big part of our classes at Comedy Guys Defensive Driving. We are dedicated to making Texas a safer place to drive by making a safer driver out of everyone who takes our class either online or at one of our over 30 class locations.
