Texting and talking on handheld cell phones while driving are both illegal in California — for reasons you certainly grasp if someone doing either caused your recent car accident, motorcycle wreck, or other roadway accident. Although the civil and DMV penalties for these offenses are minimal, proving your accident was caused by a negligent driver could be critical to your case for compensation that addresses all the damage done to you and your vehicle.

Reckless or Inattentive Driving
Drivers on our California roadways have a wide range of skill levels, even when they are focused. Texting, talking on a cell phone, checking e-mail or doing other tasks unrelated to driving when behind the wheel dramatically reduces anyone's reaction time and overall driving proficiency — as mounting evidence and statistics clearly show.
Nonetheless, people routinely break the law or engage in obviously dangerous behavior behind the wheel, by:
- "Lane drifting" on busy roads and freeways, colliding with other vehicles — sometimes head-on — or forcing evasive maneuvers that lead to serious crashes
- Focusing on their handheld device rather than the road and other vehicles, often causing "short stops" and rear-end collisions or wrecks in intersections
- Giving in to an array of other potential distractions within their vehicles — the stereo, make-up, reading material, children and pets, and many more — rather than pulling over to resolve distractions and perform these tasks
