Another cost of texting
One key fact has been overlooked when the media has been communicating the penalties for new law concerning texting and driving. There is a stiff fine, and texting and driving will now be a moving violation. Three moving violations in one year results in having your driving privileges suspended. The additional penalty which has been overlooked will be an increase in your car insurance premiums for a moving violation. The insurance increase will show up at a later date. Pretty costly text.
