The Law on Texting While Driving in New Jersey
It is illegal to text while driving in New Jersey. The texting ban applies to all drivers. In addition, all drivers are prohibited from using handheld cellphones. Drivers are, however, permitted to talk on cellphones if using a wireless device, such as Bluetooth. Police can pull drivers over and cite them for cellphone use or texting even if there is no other reason for the officer to stop the vehicle.

Led by Morristown texting while driving accident lawyer, we conduct thorough investigations of each car accident claim we handle.
