Something to consider if you have an urge to text or read email while driving, you are now a distracted driver. If you cause an accident you may be on the hook for punitive damages. Do you know what that means? It means your insurance doesn’t cover that portion of any monetary award. You have to pay it. Ouch! Be smart. Be safe.
