Banning texting while driving is a good idea, but will it stop people from using their phones to text?the answer is no, just like drinking and driving is illegal, but there are stubborn citizens who still drink and drive. Most citizens like me don’t know that, starting from January it is illegal to text and drive.  If the new governor is going to sign a bill to stop drivers from texting while driving then, there should be advertisement everywhere to let people know that texting while driving is illegal starting from January. If the legislature is going to ban texting while driving then they should also ban talking on the phone while driving since it can be a distraction too. If the legislature thinks it will stop people from dying each year , then they should also be ready for the stubborn citizens who will protest just for them to use their phones and even if the law is passed next year it will be hard for police to catch people using their phones to text while driving. The legislature should focus more on people who are intoxicated while driving than texting while driving.
