How many points are issued for texting while driving?

  1. 5
  2. 1
  3. 3
  4. 0

Answer: D — 0

Texting while driving is a dangerous and illegal activity. Therefore, there should be consequences to discourage people from doing it. Given that, it may be assumed that points are issued for this violation. While options A, B, and C may seem like reasonable numbers to issue, the actually answer is D, 0 points. This is because texting while driving is not just a normal traffic violation, it is a serious offense that can result in accidents and fatalities. As such, in addition to any fines or legal actions, no points are issued as a way to further discourage this dangerous behavior.
