It’s true…driving can be boring. And if you are like most of us, you might be tempted to text and drive, especially when you’re gridlocked on I-90 during the rush hour. What’s one little text while you’re stuck in a sea of brake lights?

The problem is that texting while driving is illegal, except in the case of certain emergencies. If an officer sees you doing it, you will get a $60 ticket for distracted driving. This violation will affect your Overland Park car insurance rate.

Even worse than a rate increase, the policy could be canceled if there have been multiple tickets, or if you causes an accident while texting and driving. New insurance companies will see this cancellation as a risk factor, which will result in an even higher rate.
