texting and driving??

I know for a fact the majority of the people in this class have at one time or another text messaged while driving. A recent article in USA Today attempted to show that something needs to be done to prevent people form texting while driving. The article states that 37% of teens rated texting as the most distracting activity they engage in behind the wheel. It then goes on to say that even thought a handful of states have banned texting by drivers, such laws are tough to pass and enforce. The problem that I have with this is that the article argues that laws against driving and texting are tough to pass and enforce, but the article does not offer any possible solutions. Giving examples of how this problem could be solved would have made the articles argument more complete. In addition, they do not go in depth as to the actual laws concerning texting while driving. I think that readers would have been interested in knowing that the enforcement of the no-texting-while-driving law only applies when the driver has already committed another traffic offense. A more in depth description of the weakness of the current law would have made readers realize that this is something that needs to be changed.
