Federal Employees have been banned from texting while driving.

Federal employees will no longer be allowed to send text messages while driving government vehicles or when driving their own cars and using cellphones paid for by the government

Kinda pathetic that we need any laws about this, but that's what happens when people can't self regulate and think they are special and exempt.

Some laws purely exist to protect innocent lives from the actions of stupid people. Not surprised, really.

With all the stupid things the Government (sate & local) makes laws about in the name of "safety" it's almost hard on an emotional level to support anything they do anymore.

However a law against texting while driving is a pretty good law.

My only concern is that it will be used as a wedge by the Fraidy Cat Coalition to reach their goal of banning all cell phone use in cars.
