Not only r kids texting while driving I seen a cop texting the other day. Not to mention it was in p’cola. I think that they should ban texting while driving. If they wanna stop me for not wearing a set belt but i can text while driving that makes no good sense to me. Somebody in the florida house has issuses. They just don’t wanna pass it cause they probably text while driving
Stupid is as stupid does.

Everyday I see bus drivers on their phones while driveing if you don’t care what happens to yourself at least think of the kids on your bus. I have called several times and givin bus numbers but doesn’t do any good same drivers one hand on the wheel another holding that phone. Do the job you are paid to do. You drive a bus you don’t work at a call center.

Law or no law, people should use the thing in their heads (a brain) that the good Lord gave them to use and do what their suppose to be doing when behind the wheel of a car…..DRIVING.

My daughter and I were almost involved in a car accident in Brewton,Al the other day when a grown woman talking on her cell phone started merging into the lane we were driving in. She didn’t even look over her shoulder or anything to see if it was clear to change lanes, she just assumed she and her phone owned the road.
Thank goodness my teenage daughter was doing the adult thing and paying attention as she quickly merged over into a turning lane that just happened to be there and tooted her horn at the lady. I told my daughter, the heck with a couple of toots, lay on your horn for a minute so she will get the point that she is an careless idiot!

Florida is a no fault state. You can drive reckless and be the cause of an accident but it doesn’t matter to the law.Both are charged in an accident. MADD help legislate a lot of the drinking laws. Texting should be banned. It is the same as driving drunk and has the same consequence. Some of my family text. I text occasionally but not driving. But it is all the left lane blocking cell drivers and texter’s who are dangerous. The is no courtesy or common sense on the road. Move over and turn off the phone. Especially school bus drivers.

When someone you know gets killed from answering a cell phone or texting you will understand the reason why this should be against the law.

It’s a shame there should even be a law. You would think that people would just use good judgement when it comes to texting and driving…drinking and driving…medication and driving, etc. Guess not.

Yep! That’s right, common sense tells us not to do distracting things, like texting, while driving. And common sense also tells us to buckle up – but it’s still the law. I’m very disappointed in our representitives, very disappointed!

Problem is not passing the no texting law. It is enforcing the reckless driving law already on the books.

The definition of reckless is: utterly unconcerned about the consequences of some action; without caution; careless (usually fol. by of): to be reckless of danger.

I don’t know exactly how the law of reckless driving reads, but all one needs is a dictionary and common sense. Seems to me that there is already a law to stop people for driving while texting.

Maybe some of the people who are hit and killed (seat belts or not) is because of stupidity of the ones texting or fidgeting with other things and not having their mind on driving. If seat belts are going to be a law, then so should texting
