Motorcyclist cited with texting while driving
FREE PRESS STAFF REPORT • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2010
If the allegation holds up, sending his boss a text message while driving his Suzuki Boulevard Cruiser motorcycle will cost Joshua Kelly, 19, $156 and two points on his driver's license.
A state trooper on U.S. 7 in Waltham on Friday afternoon saw Kelly driving with one hand and "looking down," police said.
The trooper saw him hit the buttons on his cell phone with his thumb before stopping Kelly. Kelly admitted he had been texting, police said.
Texting while driving became illegal in Vermont on June 1.
