I think that they should because I dont know how many times i have been late to somewhere because of someone texting and driving.

si think that's a good idea because i've came close to being in many wrecks because of textin and drivin. If it's so important why can't you just call the person so you can keep your eyes on the road!

I am glad they put that law in effect because I have been close to having a wreck with my step-dad because he likes to text on his Blackberry while he was driving. Plus, I was watching a show one night and this person got in a HUGE wreck with more than 3 cars and it said that 6 different people died.

I think that is safe because many people get in wrecks by texting.

It is good that you can not text and drive because they should not be as many teen wrecks anymore and they wont make it where you have to be 18 to get a drivers licens

Finally they passed they law. I have wanted the gov. to pass that law for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tori Caldwell said...

I think that is a good law and should be state wide. I think that will help prevent many wrecks! I definately think this will benefit our community for the better!

I dont think their is going to be a change because people are going to do what they want.

I think that is totally appropriate. MY mom is definately guilty of this and she wrecked while she was texting me.

Good! It is impossible to text and pay attention to the road at the same time. You have to use two hands to text and at least one hand to drive. Texting while driving is definitley not safe.

Debrincia said...

no because people could get hurt.

laurie ann said...

it is a very bad thing to text and drive because you never know who's life you could be puting in danger it is a very good thing that the city of Columbia banned texting and driving.

syddd said...

i think it is a good idea even though i dont drive but teenagers get in wrecks all the time because of texting and driving

Rahim Harmon said...

Don't text while driving in less you want a fine for text while driving.

I agree with that because so many wrecks happen these days. People do not need to text and drive at the same time. They do not even need to talk on the phone.

I agree. ^o^

amir said...

I will be still be texting.

I personaly think that people shouldnt text while driving law or no law! Texting and driving causes or about causes recks. My dad, sister, and I almost had so many recks becaus of texting and driving or just talking on the phone! They should pass a law on talking on the phone and driving too!

Camisha said...

I think it is a good idea because people shoulden't text and drive anyways unless they want to get in wreks or get a fine for it !

Katelynn said...

I think that this is good because, anyone can get in a reak or get hurt because of it.

I think that is a good thing because most of the recks now are usually from texting and driving or drunk driving. I am glad they did that.
