It seems that a Don’t Drive And Text law will be enforced on New York after the tragic accident that happened there.

Ortiz, the author of the trail-blazing New York prohibition against drivers using hand-held cell phones when they’re behind the wheel, said, “It’s a shame that it may take a tragedy like this for this bill to move forward.”

Under the proposal, those nabbed texting while driving could be hit with fines of up to $100 – the same penalty that applies now when police catch drivers gabbing on cell phones.

Well, that’s a good move. Driving and texting should not be done at the same time, because it is really dangerous. You’ll die in shame with the following news headline: Text Messaging Killed your-precious-name-here. You don’t like that, do you?
