UPDATE: Texting and driving is now ILLEGAL in Texas.
While Perry agreed that using a mobile device while driving is dangerous and irresponsible, he also said that the law banning such actions represented an example of the government telling adults what to do. Instead of a law to make texting while driving illegal, Perry suggested educating drivers through campaigns and driver’s ed programs regarding the dangers of using a cell phone while driving.
Currently, about 30 states ban texting while driving, while a handful have banned the use of all cellular devices while driving. Many states ban teen texting while driving – and more texting while driving laws are being passed each year across the country. Currently in Dallas, texting is only illegal when driving through a school zone. The proposed texting ban in Texas would have pinned a $200 fine on drivers found using their smartphones while behind the wheel.
Several studies have should that texting while driving greatly increases the chances of a car accident. However, new studies have shown that texting laws may be ineffective and that it can be difficult for police officers to enforce texting laws effectively.
