New TRAFFIC Laws for Texas!


Effective September 1st, Texas has some new laws! Here are just a few for drivers:

(1) ALL occupants of a passenger vehicle (designed to carry 15 or fewer passengers), no matter their age or where they are seated, are to be secured by a safety belt.

(2) Any child younger than 8 years of age (unless taller than 4 feet, 9 inches) must be restrained in an approved child passenger safety seat.

(3) Where posted, it is illegal to use a wireless communication device in a school zone unless the vehicle is stopped or a hands-free device is used.

There are many changes that affect motorcycles, driving, driver licenses, concealed handguns, etc. For more information and details, please go to http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/

Unfortunately, we might wish that ignorance is bliss, but tis NOT folly to be wise!!
