Ind. Laws - More on "Lawmaker to push texting-driving ban"
Updating this ILB entry from Nov. 3rd, the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette has an editorial today that concludes:
Research from the American Automobile Association’s Foundation for Traffic Safety found about one in five U.S. drivers said they texted while driving in the past month. Nearly 90 percent of Americans support bans on texting while driving, according to research.Bans work, according to the AAA. The incidence of texting while driving decreased in California after it was banned there in January. New York’s statewide ban went into effect a week ago. In all, 18 states have outlawed texting while driving, and six have banned all hand-held cell phone use while driving.
Holdman’s bill [Sen. Travis Holdman, R-Markle] deserves quick and unanimous support in the Indiana General Assembly.
