Cleveland has already banned the practice of texting while driving, and the City of Bexley is working on something similar. According to an article in today’s Dispatch, the issue is moving state-wide as a new house proposal aims to make texting while driving illegal throughout all of Ohio. The language of the new proposal states that a person cannot be pulled over for the practice, but can be issued a secondary ticket of $250 if caught. Additionally, a movement is already under way at the national level, so the practice could very well be banned throughout the US sometime soon.
