Is texting and driving illegal in Colorado?
How much trouble can you get into for texting and driving in Colorado? Someone told me that you can’t even use Bluetooth while you're driving, but that seems silly to me.

Yes, texting and driving is illegal in Colorado. In fact, drivers under 18 years old aren’t even allowed to use hands-free devices like Bluetooth or voice texting while they’re behind the wheel.
Texting and driving falls under Colorado’s
distracted driving laws
. However, these laws are only enforced secondarily, meaning that you’ll only be ticketed if you’re pulled over for breaking another law (i.e., speeding).Did you know that a distracted driving ticket can increase your car insurance rates, too? That’s why the
Jerry
app is so helpful. With Jerry, you can make sure that you’re paying the best rates on your insurance no matter your driving record.View full answer
