Safe & Responsible DrivingStandalone practice
You drive at 35 mph on a city street. A text message from a friend appears on the phone in your cup holder. What does Texas law allow you to do with the message?
Correct answer: Read it only after the car is stopped, such as after you pull off the road
Why
Texas law bans reading, writing or sending an electronic message on a hand-held wireless device while you drive, unless the vehicle is stopped. The law has narrow defenses, such as hands-free use, navigation, music and a report of an emergency. The safe choice is to let the message wait, or to pull safely off the road before you read it. Drivers under 18 may not use a wireless device at all while driving, except in an emergency.
