Georgia Texting Law

Posted by Richard Lawson | Jul 13, 2010 | 0 Comments

On July 1, 2010 texting while driving became illegal in Georgia.  If pulled over, you face a $150 fine and one point on your driver's license.  More importantly for those suspected of DUI, it is one more reason for law enforcement to stop someone.  If they suspect a driver is DUI after they pull them over, they can then request Field Sobriety Tests and tests of blood, breath, or urine.  This could lead to more DUI arrests.
