Writing a text message while behind the wheel in Maryland is illegal. But reading texts isn’t — at least, not yet. The Old Line State’s legislature is attempting to rectify that by introducing legislation that would ban drivers from reading texts and emails as they drive in the state. (Apparently, a similar “measure went before lawmakers last year, but differences between the House and Senate were not worked out, and the bill failed to pass.”) Currently, the fine for texting while driving in Maryland can be as much as $500; both D.C. and Virginia have similar bans. Just something to think about the next time you’re cursing out Maryland drivers as “the devil incarnate,” I suppose.
