TEXTING AND CELL PHONES IN KANSAS

In the State of Kansas, texting is illegal for all drivers of all ages and cell phone usage is banned for all learner permit and intermediate license holders.  Many cities in Kansas have adopted their own ordinances relating to cell phone usage.

            In the City of Manhattan cell phone usage is illegal in a motor vehicle, unless the cellphone is configured for hands-free use.  A misunderstanding about the texting law in Kansas is that drivers can still be ticketed for checking their cell phones or sending text messages while they're at a stoplight.

            Distracted driving is a common cause of accidents on Kansas roadways. If you cause an accident while using your cell phone in Kansas you can be held responsible if someone is hurt or killed.
