How many demerit points will I get for distracted driving?
I just got a ticket for texting while I was driving. Is this going to add points to my license?

Most states punish
distracted driving
with fines rather than assessing points on the driver’s license. This doesn’t mean it’s not a serious offense, though. In fact, distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents in the US.The next time you need to send a text, or do anything other than just drive your car, keep yourself and others safe by pulling over first. And as long as you’re on your phone, take a minute (literally, just one minute) to download the
Jerry
app. Jerry is a personal
insurance
broker that lives in your pocket. Once you download Jerry, just answer a handful of questions that will take you roughly 45 seconds to complete and you’ll immediately get car insurance quotes for coverage similar to yours and with the best discounts you qualify for.The average Jerry customer saves $887 per year on car insurance!
