By Mazie Vincent FAYETTEVILLE Ark. Arkansas drivers might want to think twice before replying to an email or texting while driving.
The national campaign you drive “U drive, U text, U pay” is in full effect.
“We have traffic patrol special assignments. A person might call that a crack down, but what it is, we will have officers dedicated for a period of time to look for a particular violation,” said Gary Crain, UAPD Captain.
Arkansas Police urge drivers in the natural state to put down the phone, the food and even turn down the music while driving.
Texting and driving will result in a $250 fine and increase for every offense.
