Texting and Driving Causes Another Traffic Fatality

Florida motorists commonly hear about the dangers associated with texting while driving. A 29-year-old man from Tampa was killed in a single-vehicle collision two days ago, marking yet another fatality linked to texting while operating a vehicle. According to police reports, a cell phone was found on the drivers front seat. The screen of the phone displayed an incomplete text message, indicating a strong probability that the driver was texting at the time of the crash.

While opponents point to a government intrusion and invasion of personal freedom, proponents look to the scary statistics over the last several years. Texting and driving has been the cause of thousands of accidents each and every year throughout the United States.
