Adults Now Included in Indiana Texting Ban

Adults Now Included in Indiana Texting Ban

Effective July 2011 Indiana became the 32nd state to ban texting while driving for all ages.  Prior to that date a statewide ban was in place that applied only to drivers 18 and under.

 While some will applaud this measure as long overdue in the fight against distracted driving, others have pointed out that the texting ban itself is probably unenforceable.  The main problem noted is that the legislation prohibits police officers from confiscating the device allegedly used to text to confirm a violation or to be used as evidence.  How will a violation of the texting ban be proven?  Convictions will probably be rare even with the ban in place.  Hopefully the publicity about the new law will remind some people that they should not text and drive.
