The Florida Legislature needs to pass legislation banning texting and the use of hand-held cell phones while driving a motor vehicle.
Why is this important?
It's time for the Florida Legislature to enact state laws banning texting while driving, and the use of a hand-held cell phone while driving a motor vehicle. Florida is only one of eleven states that does not have a ban on texting. Not only is this a serious safety issue, but because Florida has not passed a ban on texting while driving, it is not entitled to any of the federal highway funds amounting to over 22.5 million dollars enacted into law by Congress last year, signed by the President, and which will be distributed this year.
