Pennsylvania's new law prohibiting text-based communication while driving takes effect at 12:01 am March 8, 2012. A primary offense will carry a $50 fine.

"Your most important job when behind the wheel is to focus only on driving."

The new law specifically makes it a primary offense to use an Interactive Wireless Communication Device (IWCD) to send, read or write a text-based message.
