Texting While Driving In North Carolina: The New Law | North Carolina Car Accident Attorneys
Most North Carolina drivers know that texting while driving has been banned for teens for the last two years, but a new law was signed by the Governor of North Carolina (NC) regarding texting while driving. If you're caught texting while driving in NC, you could receive a $100 traffic ticket. However, incurring a texting while driving violation will not add points to your drivers license.If you'd like to learn more about the risks associated with texting behind the wheel, and distracted driving in general, please download our free consumer guide here.
Although teen drivers are not allowed to use mobile devices while driving in any capacity, those over 18 in North Carolina are still allowed to talk on their cell phone while driving - the only exception is bus drivers, who are also not allowed to use any type of mobile device while on the road. The bus driver cell phone law includes both public school bus drivers and private school bus drivers. Some that oppose the law wonder how the law might be enforced as it is difficult to catch someone texting while driving - and hard to prove it. However, a recent study that showed that truck drivers are 23 times more likely to crash while texting has even more people, groups, and organizations worried about the loss of life that might occur if texting remains legal behind the wheel. In another study, researchers found that teens were 8 times more likely to crash while driving if they often sent text messages while on the road. All hope that the new law will minimize distracted driving.
Noth Carolina is the 14th state to make texting and emailing while driving illegal.
