Texting Ban Goes into Effect on Jan. 1; Kansas Drivers Will Be Fined if Caught

Texting and driving has become one of the most dangerous forms of distracted driving these days.  Starting on January 1st, police in Kansas will be enforcing a new ban on texting.  If you are caught driving and texting in the state of Kansas, you will be looking at a ticket and a $60 fine plus court costs.  The law goes into effect after a nearly 6 month warning period.

 

At Roswold Law Group, our experienced Kansas and Missouri Auto Injury Lawyers encourage all motorists to put their cell phones away when you're behind the wheel. Not because its illegal but because its the smart and safe thing to do.  Advancements in technology have been amazing but today's cell phones are creating an unbelievable problem on the road.  Someone gets a text message and the immediate response for most people is to respond.  No one can wait any more.

 

But when you take you're eyes off the road, you are putting yourself, passengers and other motorists at severe risk of serious injury or death if you cause an auto injury accident.

 

We are very happy to learn the state of Kansas has taken this important step in stopping this dangerous driving habit but we also know this is the beginning of the real war.  The sad fact is that most people will do what they can to avoid being caught rather than give something up because its the safe thing to do.  We are urging all drivings in Kansas and Missouri to put leave your cell phone in your pocket or purse when you're driving.

 

If you or someone you love has suffered a serious injury in a car accident in Kansas or Missouri, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses.  Don't delay, contact the Kansas City Personal Injury Attorneys of Roswold Law Group.
