Text Messaging While Driving in Indiana
May 24, 2011, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
Indiana has passed a new law that prohibits texting while driving. Indiana is the 32nd state to prohibit texting while driving. Under the new law, effective July 1, violators face a maximum fine of $500. The law extends Indiana’s current texting ban to all drivers. Drivers under 18 are also prohibited from all cell phone use.
I was jogging yesterday close to the road. There was no sidewalk. A very young girl was texting while driving by me. I'm certain she never saw me. This is how people die.
