Driver distraction causes wreck. No one can dispute that, so why only limit distractions with kids?
If House bills 339 and 662, by Rep. Larry Phillips, R-Sherman, and Solomon Ortiz Jr., D-Corpus Christi, become law, Texas teenagers won't be allow to drive while talking on a cell phone.

However, when it comes to banning the use of wireless phones while driving, that is as far as the Texas Legislature seems willing to go this session - just take the cell phones away from teenage drivers.

A series of bills that would prohibit anyone over 18 talking on a cell phone or texting while driving are apparently going nowhere this session.
Because Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile have deep pockets, but it's no less dangerous for adults.
