Conn., Mass. get grants to help enforce texting/driving bans
With laws in 39 states prohibiting texting while driving, there’s considerable agreement that the practice is dangerous. How to enforce such bans, though, is a process that is still under development.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that it will give $275,000 grants to Connecticut and Massachusetts to help them train police officers on better methods for spotting drivers who are texting, and to develop media techniques that alert the public to the perils of texting and driving.
