Whether you're sending a text message, putting on makeup or adjusting the car stereo, texting while driving and distracted driving can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. A motorist cited for texting or talking on a mobile phone while driving usually gets a ticket and doesn't need the services of a drunk driving lawyer. But it still makes sense to understand the dangers and the laws with respect to distracted driving.
Contact a qualified traffic ticket attorney to help you get the best result possible.
Get tailored legal advice and ask a lawyer questions. Many traffic ticket attorneys offer free consultations.
