A number of notable Texas traffic and driving laws designed to
improve safety on the roads and drivers
education awareness go into effect on Sep 1.
Drivers under the age of 25 will now have a harder time getting
traffic violations removed from their record. SB 1005 provides
that if a driver younger than drivers years of age commits a
traffic offense classified as a moving violation, the judge must
demand the driver to complete a classroom based or online defensive
driving course. In addition, if the driver holds a
provisional driver license - in other words, is under drivers
years of age - they must submit to a Texas Department of Public
Safety road test in addition to taking an offline or online defensive
driving course. Failure by the driver to meet this
requirement will result in a final conviction for that traffic
offense.
Proof of insurance will be enforced through the new Lone Star
State law SB 1670. This law necessitates the Dept. of Insurance,
in conjunction with Texase Department of Transportation and
other agents, to prove a substantiation program for motor
vehicle insurance in order to try and bring down the number of
uninsured motor vehicle operators.
SB 1257 forbids use of wireless communications equipment
(including cell phones) for the first six calendar months after
adolescents acquire their driver licenses. The bill also
disallows passenger bus operators transporting minors from
utilizing wireless communications hardware, except in
emergencies or when the vehicle is stopped. Use of wireless
hardware has become omnipresent and is under suspicion of
stimulating accidents.
Many of the items addressed by by these laws are talked over in
the available State of Texas defensive driving courses provided
online and in classroom settings. Prices might vary for motor vehicle
operators safety courses but the lower limit they can be by
law in the state of Texas is $25.
