Florida Should Pass Ban on Texting While Driving

It is so tempting.  You are driving down the road when, “ding” you get a text.  Initially, you keep your eyes on the road, but as time passes the temptation to find out what important message has just been sent to you is just too great.  You pick up the phone and glance down at the text and read it.  This takes about 2 seconds.   You keep driving, but soon the temptation to respond gets to you again.  You grab your phone and start typing in the response.  You might even steer with your knees so you can type with both hands.  As you finish typing, you look up and suddenly see that you have been looking down for 5 seconds and you have almost run into the car in front of you that is stopped at a light.

This is an all too common scenario.  Tragically, drivers often don’t react in time and plow into the back of the vehicle in front of them.  It is unclear how many accidents are caused by drivers who are texting, because drivers rarely admit that they are texting.

Florida is considering passing a bill to ban texting while driving.  Please contact your representative  to urge them to pass this important piece of safety legislation.  To read more on this topic, click here.
