Is Texting & Driving Primary Offense In West Palm Beach, FL?

Yes, texting while driving is a primary offense in Florida under the Florida Ban on Texting While Driving Law (Statute § 316.305). This means law enforcement can stop a driver and issue a citation solely for texting, without needing another traffic violation. This means the West Palm Beach Police Department or Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office can pull a driver over and issue a citation solely for texting, without needing another violation to occur. If the driver received a citation at the scene, it serves as powerful evidence of negligence in your personal injury claim.
