Maryland to Reconsider Banning Texting While Driving

The Low-Tech Times previously reported on a proposal to ban texting while driving in Virginia. Now, according to WJLA ABC News Channel 7, Maryland is again considering to ban the dangerous practice after a previous attempt was rejected. Here’s an excerpt from the WJLA report:

The House Environmental Matters Committee has already rejected one bill that would have banned texting while driving. A slightly different version is up for consideration this afternoon. Sponsors say texting is more dangerous than talking on a phone while driving because it take a drivers’ hands and eyes off the road.

    It’s ashame people don’t have enough common sense on their own not to do this, but hopefully the law will pass and people will listen.
