Gov. Susana Martinez signed a bill banning texting while driving in New Mexico, with enforcement beginning July 1, 2014. Studies show texting while driving increases the risk of accidents by 23 times and is a leading cause of death among teen drivers. While the law aims to improve safety, it may impact delivery drivers who rely on phone use to communicate with customers and receive order updates. The ban prohibits composing or reading texts but allows hands-free use of phones for GPS and calls. Pizza chains may need to provide hands-free technology to allow drivers to perform their communication-heavy jobs safely.
