Arizona is one of the few remaining places in the United States that does not have a full statewide ban on texting while driving. However, this does not mean such conduct is legal everywhere in the state. Currently, cities and counties can put their own rules in place against cellphone-related distracted driving.
What this means is that, throughout the state, including here in the greater Phoenix metro area, there is a great deal of variation on what is and isn’t allowed when it comes to cellphones and driving. Some communities opt to put special restrictions on drivers on this front, while other do not.
