May a driver read or type a nonvoice message on a visible device while the vehicle is moving?
Correct answer: No, unless a specific statutory exception applies.
Why
Do not read or type ordinary nonvoice messages while driving a moving vehicle. AS 28.35.161 separately permits specified uses, such as voice communication and equipment displaying only navigation, maps, or vehicle information. Those exceptions do not permit ordinary texting. Set directions before driving and stop safely before handling a message.
