Selinsgrove auto insurance: Texting while driving is dangerous and soon it maybe illegal nationwide

The act of texting friends and family while driving has already been banned in fourteen states and Washington, D.C.  Now Four U.S. Senators is trying to get a law passed to ban it in all 50 states.  There are so many things that can go wrong behind the wheel on our busy highways that this ban should be a no brainer.
The “ALERT Drivers” bill–known as Avoiding Life-Endangering and Reckless Texting by Drivers Act–would require states to ban drivers from texting or emailing while behind the wheel. States that fail to ban in-car texting within two years will lose 25 percent of their annual federal highway funding.
A recent Virginia Tech study found that drivers who send texts while operating a vehicle are 23 times more likely to be involved in an accident than those who don’t, and research has shown that texting while driving is as dangerous as driving while drunk.
By forcing drivers to pay more attention to the road, proponents believe the bill will significantly decrease auto accidents and make roadways safer.
Mass transit operators–including bus drivers and train/light rail operators–would be included in the ban.
The national news has already shown tragic mass transit accidents caused by drivers texting when they should have been driving the bus or train.
