More and more I see people being stopped for either talking on their phones or texting while driving. These bad habits cause more accidents than drunk drivers. However, it is worse because even if you don't have an accident, you asking to have the police officer stop you, and if you have had anything to drink, 99% of the time you are going to jail.
The latest thing to get people stopped by the police is GPS on your cell phone. Not the area you are from, and your smart phone has GPS, so you are holding it trying to find your way home or to a specific location. It looks like you are texting. Do one of two things, either buy a good GPS for your car that can be on the dashboard, and one that speaks to you, so you don't lose sight of where you are driving and cross into the lane next to you. Garmin http://www.garmin.com/us/#/auto/ puts out a great auto GPS, but choose anyone you like, or make sure your smart phone's GPS talks as well and put it on the dash. Really, you don't want to take your eyes off the road. Also, if you are not sure where you are, don't pull off on the shoulder of the road to check your GPS or map, go to a gas station or a parking lot. More people than you can imagine get arrested because the police stop to see if you need assistance being pulled off on the shoulder of the road, and it turns into a DUI arrest. A few hundred dollars for a good auto GPS can save you thousands of dollars for a DUI arrest and charge.
Drive safely, Don't Drink and Drive, but if you do, make sure you follow the rules for contact with the police listed on my website, and know them before you are stopped not after the contact and probable arrest.
