NO-TEXT LAW GOES INTO EFFECT

JANUARY 1, 2009

In order to prevent text-messaging while driving and the

collisions which could occur as a result, a new law goes

into effect on January 1, 2009. SB28 prohibits a person

using an electronic wireless communications device to

write, send or read text-based messages while operating

a motor vehicle. This law specifically addresses, but is

not limited to, instant messages and all forms of e-mail

based correspondence. To get all the "buzz" on the new

cellular phone and text laws, check out the California

Department of Motor Vehicles’ Web site
