Texting Ban Effective December 1

Adult drivers are still be able to talk on the phone, but texting could land the offender a $100 fine plus court costs. "When you're texting, you have your brain and your hand and your eyes all off the road at the same time," said Arthur Goodwin, a senior research associate with the UNC Highway Safety Research Center. "Texting is about one of the most dangerous things you can do while driving."

The Grange supported the texting while driving ban and are pleased to see that tomorrow, December 1, a ban on this practice will be in place in the state of North Carolina.
