No TXTing Behind the Wheel

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has signed into law a ban on texting or emailing on your cellular phone or tablet while driving.  This makes Pennsylvania the 31st state to enact such legislation.  The new law carries a $50 fine and is considered a primary offence, meaning a police officer can pull you over and issue a ticket on site.  The Governor said:  "If you're behind the wheel, drive. If you have that urgent need to text, pull over first, stop the car, and text. ... If it's not important enough to stop your car, then it's certainly not important enough to risk a life."  This new law does not itself restrict talking on a cellular phone as other municipal laws may do, such as the one in the City of Erie.
