Texting Alaskans Got the Right Idea!

Texting while driving has become popular among today's community, but it is costing people their lives. One state on the right track with texting laws is the forty-ninth state in our union Alaska. Alaska bans using your phone in the car with some exception such as using your phone for GPS. Alaska has very few accidents related to texting so much so that it is hard to find a incident on the super searcher Google. If someone is caught texting while driving it is a misdemeanor but if someone is injured or killed it is a felony. With these laws in place it discourages texting while driving and in turn keeps the roads safe for all. Alaska seems to have a handle on this problem but can the other states catch up?

    I don't think it is okay to use GPS while driving either; as this in some arguments could be considered just as if not more distracting than a phone call.

    Are their fines for using your phone and driving?

    Time for the other states to get the memo. Time for all citizens to get the memo.

    I don't think I could use my phone's GPS because I wouldn't be able to see it. My real GPS has a larger screen and is easily seen, but these old eyes can't see the iPhone screen!
