South Carolina Legislators Approve a Texting, Cell Phone Ban


Posted on Feb 17, 2010

On Tuesday, South Carolina legislators advanced a bill to the House that would ban texting and talking on held-held cell phones while driving a vehicle. This measure would exempt hands-free systems. Another bill, headed to Senate would only prevent a driver from texting and emailing from a cell phone while driving.

In the House version of the bill, legislators agreed to fine offenders up to $100 and 2 points added to their license, while the bill in the Senate would only fine drivers $25 and add 1 point to their license. School bus drivers in violation

They feel that a talking ban could potentially be detrimental to many small-business owners who depend on cell phone communication.
