Virginia Has Plans To Toughen Up On Drivers Who Text Virginia has plans to toughen up on drivers who text. Using a hand held electronic device for anything other than making a phone call is already a civil offense. Some Virginia delegates want to increase the penalty for texting while driving to a primary offense with the potential of a reckless driving charge. The Virginia State Crime Commission approved the legislation and now it will be presented to the 2013 General Assembly Session. Delegate Terry Kilgore says not so fast! Will the officer check the phone or confiscate it there are lots of issues to consider. bg
