Texting Ban Bill Signed
KENTUCKY...
Texting while driving can be deadly, and soon it will also be illegal in Kentucky.
House Bill 415 has been officially signed into law, and beginning in January it will be illegal for drivers to write or send a text message or email while driving.
Democratic Rep. Reggie Meeks said over 200 people in the Commonwealth have been killed on our roads because of distracted driving, and because of cell phone use, and because of texting. Absent from the language of the bill, however, is talking on your phone while driving. Meeks says there will be a provision for people to be able to use hands-free devices to talk while driving.
