PA PSA: It is Now Illegal to Text and Drive

This is a friendly reminder from all of us at Eberly Systems that starting today, March 8th, 2012 texting and driving is now a primary offense.  Being pulled over for this action (texting) while your vehicle is in motion will result in a $50.00 fine.  This is for anyone driving through the state of PA, not just residents.  What does texting include in the new law?  Anything requiring you to input text into your phone will be included in the texting ban: e-mail, text, web surfering, note dictation, etc.  Now is the time to try out that voice dictation program you have been thinking about.

At this time PA does not require hands free devices for voice, that part of the bill was rejected.  For more information, read our first article HERE  when the law was passed, as well as some good links and comments.
