I’m trying to get my teenager to stop texting while driving. She doesn’t think it’s against the law. Can you help us settle this? Is texting and driving illegal in Kansas?

Yes, texting and driving is illegal in Kansas. In fact, Kansas is one of 47 states to fully ban texting and driving.
It’s also good to note that there is no ban on talking on a handheld device if you’re a licensed driver. On the other hand, if you only have a learner’s permit or an intermediate license, you are prohibited from using any handheld or hands-free device while operating a vehicle.
coverage is typically pricey for new drivers. And for drivers of all experience levels, having tickets on your record will make getting insurance that much more expensive. So, let your daughter know it pays to drive safely and avoid tickets for unnecessary things like texting and driving.
