texting and driving

The new texting and driving ban signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott takes effect in another six weeks, but there are some things we need to know now to prep for it. Like how high are the fines?

For the fourth time, State Rep. Tom Craddick of Midland will attempt to ban texting while driving.

A recent survey found nearly a third of teen drivers have texted while driving — but after a catastrophic wreck that nearly cost him his life, one Texas college student says he’ll never do it again, and he’s imploring others to follow his lead.

Want more proof that sending text messages while driving is not just stupid, but also dangerous?  A Katy man learned that the other day.  Tragically, it was the last thing he ever learned.

Teenagers aren’t drinking as much as they used to and more of them now wear seat belts, but all of that could be offset by the startling number of them who admit to texting while driving.

Buckle your seat belts, folks. According to Harris Poll chairman Humphrey Taylor regarding a new survey, “The number of drivers who engage in potentially dangerous, in some cases extremely dangerous, behaviors while driving is terrifyingly high.”
