It should be only inevitable that the law to ban texting while driving spread to all states, if not for the sake of lives at least for the sake of decreasing obsessive teen socializing habits. Texting has been disallowed by a few states and the District of Columbia. Now helping the law disseminate throughout the country, a committee of Democratic senators are now fixated on the introduction of legislation that would ban texting while driving for all states. The reasoning behind this legislation, if not obvious enough already, is due to a study held by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute that discovered that truck drivers who texted while driving were 23 times more likely than those who didn’t. Entire details on the bill are still vague, but it would withhold 25% of the annual federal highway funding from states that didn’t permit the law to be carried out. In my opinion, the law should definitely withhold throughout the country. Texting while driving is much worse than talking on the phone while driving. Read.
