With the New Year 2020 came a new law into effect: If you’re getting behind the wheel, don’t text and drive. Warnings were being issued up until December 31, 2019. The grace period is now over, as texting while driving is a primary offense and
law enforcement officers will start issuing tickets to drivers caught texting while driving
. Hands-free use of a phone like using Bluetooth speakers on a call and for navigation purposes is still allowed, except in a school or construction zone.
