How many times have you reached your destination without remembering how you got there? We must remain alert at all times when we are driving a car. It is so easy to be distracted by your phone and that can be deadly. Any kind of distraction while driving can be deadly. We must never forget that a car can be a deadly weapon!
Do you know your Arkansas texting and driving laws?
Drivers 18 to 20 are banned from handheld cell phone use. Novice drivers in Arkansas – drivers younger than 18 – are banned from all cell phone use while driving (handheld and hands-free).
All drivers are banned from sending text messages while driving, except in emergencies. Law enforcement officers, firefighters, ambulance drivers and emergency medical technicians are also exempt.
A violation of the law is a primary offense, meaning it can be the sole reason for a traffic stop. Offenders can face fines up to $100.
The use of cell phones and other electronic communication devices are leading to a record number of auto accidents and deaths due to driver distractions. States are now more aware of the hazards and distractions of cell phones and electronic communication devices, effectively establishing laws to regulate the use of them while behind the wheel of an automobile.
Stay safe on the road and keep that phone in your pocket. It Can Wait!
