West Virginia Considers Texting Ban
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia state Senate Transportation Committee is expected to consider a bill next week that would, if passed, make texting while driving a primary traffic offense. Another bill under consideration would make not wearing a seat belt a more serious offense. Currently, not wearing a seat belt is a secondary offense, meaning an officer is required to pull a driver over for another reason before a violation can be issued.
