May a Florida driver type or read a nonvoice text message while operating a moving vehicle?
Correct answer: No; manual texting while driving is prohibited.
Why
Do not manually type or read nonvoice interpersonal communications while driving the moving vehicle. The law contains specific emergency, navigation and hands-free/function-activation exceptions. Its stationary-vehicle exclusion is not a reason to become distracted before traffic starts moving. School crossings, school zones and active work zones have an additional handheld-device rule. Texting combines visual, manual and mental distraction: it takes your eyes, hands and attention from driving.
