Florida Texting Law Not Effective and Needs Improvement

Schedule a Free Consultation

Although Florida finally implemented a texting while driving ban, Florida police are finding it difficult to enforce. That’s because as the law now stands, it is only a secondary offense, meaning drivers can only be ticketed if they’re pulled over for another violation first.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported that they have  issued a little less than 400 tickets across the entire state for texting while driving. but many of those tickets were not issued in Northeast Florida. Of those 400, only 14 were in Duval County, 2 in St. Johns County, and 1 in Nassau County.
Meanwhile, drivers report a high incidence ( 7 out of 10) drivers observed texting while driving.
It is time for the Florida Legislature to make it a primary offense. Your and your loved ones’ safety depends on it.

TESTIMONIALS

Best law office ever! I have been going through a case and been smooth sailing from day one because of the amazing attorney and staff that has dedicated their time for me.
Tiffany Dalton
My family and I came to Terrell and Hogans office about 4 years ago after meeting with 3 other firms here in Jacksonville. My family and I suffered a great loss, our father. He was killed by a physician's negligence. Mr. Hogan's hard work and commitment changed the course of my family's life. We will all be eternally grateful for their passionate work and their personal dedication to do the right thing.
Aaron Cooper
I was referred to Joe by a family friend and reached out to him regarding a death in my family. After meeting with him on various phone conferences he was very passionate about helping me pursue my case and also very informative every step of the way in ensuring I was comfortable with all decisions. As the close to my case has come about I am very appreciative to have been able to work with Joe and the others at Terrell • Hogan.
Lainey R.
Mr. Hogan was very helpful. He and his staff always called me back and kept me informed about my case. He did a great job for me and my family.
Former Client
Over a period of 3 years Chris worked on our case incurring several hundred thousand dollars in expenses for our case, yes hundreds of thousands of dollars in just expenses they paid for in advance, something we could have never done. I can't even imagine the number of hours Chris spent working on our case. In the end Chris finally reached the goal we all hoped for. Chris changed my family's life forever and selecting their firm to work with was a defining moment in my family's life.
