Title: Texting While Driving Legislation
Post by: jay on October 17, 2010, 07:40:23 PM
The city of Youngstown is considering some type of "texting while driving" legislation.

Do you support this effort to punish those who send text messages while driving a car?

City council can enact all the legislation it wants, but it will be a waste of time with an understaffed police department.

You're probably correct.  The current administration is not keeping the YPD up to full force.

Would there be any benefit to report texting drivers especially if they are driving without holding onto the steering wheel?
This person's careless driving could easily kill someone.
