Mixed Opinions on Texting, Driving Ban - The Missourian: County

Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Sen. David Pearce has introduced a bill to expand the texting and driving ban to Missouri motorists of all ages, and also ban all drivers from using handheld devices to make phone calls. . . .

Both bills would permit drivers to use cellphones in a hands-free, voice-activated mode.

State Sen. Dave Schatz, R-Sullivan, said banning texting and driving for all ages “probably makes sense.”

“I think we would all agree that most reasonable people would say that texting while driving is not a safe activity, and the most important thing you have to do is drive a vehicle,” Schatz said.
