Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran wants to see texting while driving become a primary traffic offense. The legislation would allow law-enforcement officers to pull over motorists if they see them texting or emailing. Currently, texting while driving is a secondary offense, meaning officers can only charge motorists with texting violations during traffic stops for other offenses, such as speeding. Corcoran said at least 39 states make texting while driving a primary traffic offense.
