Have you been injured in a texting while driving accident?

When was the last time you saw someone talking on a cell phone while driving? How often do you notice someone who is texting, even when they are driving at top-speed down the highway? Doesn't it seem to be common place now to catch someone applying make-up or eating while driving?

 
Unfortunately, accidents resulting from these types of distracted drivers are on the rise and the results are often catastrophic.  Distracted drivers have become all too commonplace in Washington.

In efforts to curb traffic accidents, the Washington state legislators passed a law prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving. Under the Revised Code of Washington, RCW 46.61.667 and 46.61.668 now make it a traffic infraction to use a hand-held wireless communication device for making a phone call, emailing or texting, unless the driver is using a hands-free device.

If a person has committed this infraction, an officer used to only be able to issue a ticket as a secondary offense. In other words, the officer could not pull you over for just talking on your phone; they would also need to have other legal grounds to pull you over.

This is no longer the case. Effective June 10, 2010, an officer needs no other reason to pull you over than seeing you holding a cell phone to your ear. You must now put in a blue-tooth device or pull over to make or receive a call or use any other wireless device. If you do not, you can now face a minimum ticket of $124. More importantly, you will be liable for any distracted driver type accident that takes place since these actions lower one's ability to focus on the road.
