What is Considered Distracted Driving in Texas?

Distracted driving is a dangerous behavior that diverts a driver's attention away from the primary task of operating a vehicle. In Texas, as in many other states, distracted driving includes a wide range of activities that take a driver's focus off the road. Some common forms of distracted driving include:

• Texting or using a cell phone while driving: This is one of the most common and hazardous forms of distracted driving. Reading or sending text messages and making phone calls can significantly impair a driver's ability to react to traffic conditions.
• Eating and drinking: Activities like eating, drinking, or manipulating a GPS device can divert a driver's attention from the road, leading to accidents.
• Talking to passengers: Engaging in conversations with passengers, especially intense or emotional ones, can be a distraction.
• Grooming: Fixing hair, applying makeup, or even adjusting clothing while driving can be dangerous.
• Using in-car entertainment systems: Operating infotainment systems, such as adjusting the radio or navigation, can take a driver's focus away from driving.
• Reaching for objects: Trying to reach for objects within the vehicle can cause a momentary lapse in attention.

Texas' Distracted Driving Laws

In Texas, distracted driving is a serious offense. Here are some key points regarding distracted driving laws in Texas:

• Texting while driving is banned: It is illegal to read, write, or send electronic messages (including text messages) while operating a motor vehicle unless the vehicle is stopped.
• Handheld cellphone ban: Texas law prohibits the use of handheld cellphones by drivers in school zones and by drivers under the age of 18. Additionally, local ordinances may impose additional restrictions.
• No texting in school zones: In school zones, all drivers are prohibited from using handheld devices to text, read, or write while driving.

Please note that laws and regulations may change over time, so it's essential to consult with an attorney for the most up-to-date information.
