Violating Iowa Cell Phone Laws

Iowa cell phone laws now ban texting while driving, and the fees incurred for violations may amount to $120.75 due to added court costs. Any Ames personal injury lawyer will likely attest to the danger of texting while driving and how it can often cause a car accident in Ames.

Texting while driving is one of the most dangerous types of distracted driving because it takes the driver's mind, hands and eyes off the road. Accidents can happen in the seconds that a driver's attention is swayed, and Iowa is taking steps in the right direction to prevent this from happening.

Iowa legislators placed a ban on texting for all drivers, and violating this law will bring about a $30 penalty; however, with added surcharge and court costs, it could amount to more than $100.

Thousands of Americans lose their lives every year in accidents involved with distracted driving. Roughly 28% of all accidents are caused by driving while using a cell phone, 200,000 of which are attributed to texting, according to the National Safety Council.

Lawmakers are finally taking these dangers into consideration in their legislative sessions by altering Iowa cell phone laws. Now violating distracted driving laws don't only pose highway dangers; it may also put a dent in violators' wallets.

If you've been injured in a car accident in Ames due to someone's distracted driving or violation of cell phone laws, take your case to an Ames personal injury lawyer to see if the other party is liable.
