Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
While a car is moving on the traveled roadway, may its adult driver write or send an ordinary non-emergency text message?
Correct answer: No, wait until you are safely stopped
Why
Kentucky prohibits manually writing, sending or reading text-based communications while the motor vehicle is moving on the traveled roadway. Stop safely where use is lawful instead. The statute has specific exclusions for navigation, entering a phone number/name to make a call, essential official emergency/public-safety use, and specified protective or emergency texts. Those exclusions do not make ordinary texting safe or lawful here.
