One in five U.S. drivers has admitted to texting while driving at least once in the last 30 days, the American Automobile Association said in a news release Friday. Reuters has a story about it.
AAA wants laws enacted that would make it illegal for drivers of all ages to send, write, or read a text message or email while their vehicle is in motion. That doesn't include, for example, if you're stopped at a red light or stop sign, a AAA spokesman said Friday.
What are your thoughts? Do you support a ban on texting while driving? Should it be banned anytime a driver is behind the wheel, or is sending a text while waiting at a red light OK?
