No one can text and drive safely,it is stupid to even think you can. How are they going to enforce this law though? Come on, think about it...Really how can they keep it from happening short of installing some device with some sort of dampening field in the cars to keep the phone from working while the car is running. Hey, any inventors in the audience? You could become a millionaire overnight if you invented something like that.

Most of these laws are written by the police unions, who exempt officers. Implying that police somehow know a safe way to text and drive sends a dangerous message to teens.

think it would be great if they ban texting and driving because it would make parents at ease for there children. i think if u have to text pull over and text, not while driving.

I don't text really no urgent need to. Cops do it all the time. It's probably not safe to do on a bicycle.
