Week 4 Assignment

This assignment is due on October 22nd and is connected to the previous week's blog assignment. Reading and understanding of the material are accomplished by being able to make connections and find relationships between material. Remember to comment on 4 other people's blogs.
Alaska and California are the latest states to ban text messaging by drivers of all ages. The two states join Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Louisiana, Minnesota, New Jersey and Washington State in banning texting by all drivers, amid concern that such distractions increase crash risk. Nine other states have text messaging bans that apply to only young drivers.
Texting while driving is a primary offense, meaning police officers can pull a violator over in Alaska, California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Minnesota and New jersey.
1) Write a short response to the above statement on how you feel about the ban. Do you agree with it or not and why. Also, do you think their should be an age limitation on the ban?
2) How does this connect to the article on cell phone use and the comparison to driving under the influence?
