Britain Enacts Tough Laws Banning Texting While Driving - Monday, November 02, 2009

Britain has enacted tough new laws banning cell phone use while driving. Texting while driving is given especially harsh punishment in the U.K. Composing text messages at the moment of a collision is not even necessary to evoke harsh criminal punishment in the event of an accident. Reading or composing text messages "over a period of time" is considered a "gross unavoidable distraction" exposing the wrongdoer to the same type of punishment available for those driving while drunk or high on drugs.
