No Florida Law on Texting and Cell Phone Use
Currently, Florida has no law prohibiting or restricting drivers from sending text messages or using cell phones while driving. Florida doesn't require hands-free devices; drivers are free to use any kind of cell phone.
In each of the last several years, the Florida legislature has considered a number of bills that would ban drivers from text messaging, ban drivers from using hand-held cell phones while driving, or restrict younger drivers from using wireless communications devices. None of these bills has passed. In addition local municipalities are prhibited form passing their own laws under Florida's preemption statute.
