Senator Carl Marcellino: Texting while driving.

Long Island Senator Carl Marcellino supports a new state law that will ban texting while driving, which has been blamed in a growing number of fatal car accidents. In 2007, five high school seniors near Rochester, NY, were killed in a car crash that police said may have been caused by a texting driver. Police said the driver had sent and received text messages within minutes of the crash. Senator Marcellino is speaking on the floor of the NYS Senate in Albany.

This rule must be made...

If the driver doesn't take it upon his/herself to stop texting, this law could very well spread across every single state and country, and it could completely be part of our future use of cell phones.

If it is illegal for me to get a BJ from my wife while I am driving, then texting while driving should be illegal too.
