Arizona may be the next state to ban texting while driving. As of now, 30 states have already banned the offense and a person is fined if caught breaking the law.
The Arizona State Senate has passed the bill and now it awaits a vote in the House. The bill would make it illegal for any driver to write, send or read a text message. The fines for offense are $50 if pulled over for texting and $200 if the texting driver is involved in an accident.
The law does not apply if you are stopped at a stop light or stuck in a traffic jam. AAA Arizona reported that a person that is texting and driving is 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident.
