No Texting, Truckers!
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I know a trucker who drives a triple-trailer about 500 miles every day, and do you know how he passes the time?
By texting on his cell phone. When I pointed out the dangers of this, he responded that it is a good way for him to stay awake!
Well, I just discovered via the GJEL accident attorneys blog that it’s now against the law for commercial drivers to text while driving.
That means drivers of vehicles weighing 10,000 pounds or more, which includes trucks and buses, cannot text and drive.
