Among other laws that took effect at the stroke of midnight the other night, California changed a state distracted-driving law.
Technically, Assembly Bill 1785 fixes a quirk in Section 23123.5 of the California Vehicle Code. The old Section 231235 made it illegal to text while driving, unless your phone was equipped with a “hands-free” texting feature — i.e., you could legally dictate your texts. The change clarifies that you can’t actually be holding the phone while driving.
