What is the safest and lawful ordinary response to a text message while driving in Kansas?
Correct answer: Do not read or send it; stop safely off the road first.
Why
For an ordinary message, do not type, send or read it while driving on a public road. Stop safely off the roadway before handling it. The statute has specific exceptions, including qualifying hands-free or voice-operated functions and specified emergency or reporting uses. Those exceptions do not make manual texting safe or remove other applicable restrictions, such as the under-17 permit rule or the current zone-specific phone rule.
