Expansion of Texting While Driving Ban

As of earlier this year texting while driving is illegal for anyone under the age of 21.  A new bill has now been introduced in response to controversy over the unfair and difficult to enforce aspect of a law banning only younger drivers from texting.  New research clearly shows that the texting while driving ban implemented elsewhere appears to be reducing texting by drivers, studies have shown a 70% overall decrease in texting while driving. 

In an effort to improve safety on our roadways, national legislative and communications campaigns are being launched to reduce distracted driving, including texting while driving.  Texting while driving has become an epidemic and is causing an outbreak of tragic injuries due to auto accidents, not just in the younger population.  Therefore, expansion of the texting while driving ban will be an improvement for the safety and welfare of all.  Read the entire article on our website: http://www.kansascityaccidentinjuryattorneys.com/library/missouri-kansas-city-texting-while-driving-accident-injury-lawyers.cfm.
