Don't text and drive in Washington


Although NJ was the first state to ban cell phone use while driving, Washington is smart enough to realize that plenty of people still text while they drive. Now in an effort to curb accidents caused by cell phone use, Washington has made it illegal to operate a cellphone while driving.

It's only a secondary offense, which means that if the 'po po' can only give you a ticket if they pulled you over for another reason, such as speeding.

The price to pay for texting Dave about how waisted you got last night is $101 per offense. So hide the phone the next time you get pulled over and you should be good to go. The new law is in effect so drive safe.
