Finding Paragraph #2

Should all states have bans on texting while driving is the question that I am going to answer within this paragraph. 30 states including Wisconsin and the District of Columbia, have passed laws that ban texting while driving. In Wisconsin a police officer does not need any other reason to stop you if they believe that you are texting while driving. Officers look for cars with loud car stereos, reading a map or talking to a passenger in the back seat under the inattentive law, the texting ban is an extension of that law. "Its not going to change anything the officers don't already do."(Sgt. Brian Donohoue) First time offenders will receive a $400 fine and lose four points off their drivers license. The law could draw attention to the danger of texting while driving. (Cpt. Jude Maurer) South Carolina has proposed two laws to ban texting while driving. The first proposal would make cellphone use illegal for anyone under the age of 18 except in emergency situations, with violations resulting in a $50 misdemeanor. The second proposal would make text messaging or other cell phone use illegal while driving for all motorists. "I don't think that just because North Carolina does something we don't have to do it."(Mulvaney) All states should have bans on texting while driving because it will make all the roadways safer. All states should have bans on texting while driving because if a tourist comes to visit a different state and they are texting, they will be fined for a law that they did not know existed.
