Texting-While-Driving Illegal in Georgia as of July 1st
Decatur Metro | June 4, 2010Sonny shocks the metro and beyond. From 11alive…
Stunning lawmakers and observers alike, Gov. Sonny Perdue signed both texting-while-driving bills passed by the state legislature this session.
Effective July 1, texting and driving will be banned for drivers of all ages.
Additionally, all cell-phone use while driving will be illegal for motorists 18 and younger.
And P.S., it looks like I was wrong when I said 11alive had Senate Bill 360 incorrect earlier this week. Though the bill originally only banned texting-while-driving for those under 18, it was amended to include all drivers.
