Electronic Use in Vehicles

Using electronics while driving should be done safely and legally.  In today’s briefings, there was an interesting article issued by www.digitaltips.org which maps out laws state by state so you can reach your destination safely and easily.  GPS, On-Star, cellular phones, and others can help you in an emergency.  However, it’s important to use electronics safely while driving and follow the law.

In S.C. Code Ann. § 56-5-4440 (2007) the Law states: No television viewer, screen or other means of visually receiving a television broadcast can be located in the field of view of the operator of the vehicle.  Penalties are $100 or be imprisoned for not more than 30 days.  Learn about your home state and those neighboring states around you.
