Texting and Driving

Texting and Driving is one of the most dangerous ways to die in the world. People are careless; they don't see that one simple text like "hi" could kill you before you get to even get to hit send. The sad part about it is that it is a law. People will break the law and not even realize that it is important!

This law clearly states "Texting while driving laws prohibit the use of electronic devices to write, send or read messages while driving. In addition to text messages sent by mobile phones, these laws typically prohibit writing, sending or reading similar types of messages -- such as emails, instant messages or other internet based messages -- while driving." stated from http://traffic.findlaw.com/traffic-tickets/texting-while-driving.html?DCMP=GOO-TRAFF_Gen-TextingDriving&HBX_PK=texting+and+driving+laws

Did you know that some states which have not specifically banned texting while driving for adults have banned it for "novice drivers?" This means they are young or new drivers, depending on the state. Some of these novice driver texting laws punish texting by drivers under 18, while others apply the ban to all drivers under 21. Even older drivers fall into some states' novice driver texting laws if they are driving under a learner's permit, provisional license or intermediate license.

There are so many facts about texting and driving and restrictions that it is mind blowing. Like the fact that certain states have laws against it which is what I stated earlier. In the vast majority of places which have specific texting while driving laws, those laws allow what is called "primary enforcement."

My opinion on this law is that it should be enforced everywhere. Not all states have this law because of the worry of citizens being mad or may even over throw the government. But, it is a safety hazerd. No matter how big or important the text is, anything can wait to save a life.
