Texting and Driving, Still Legal in Florida
During the 2010 Florida Legislative Session, no less than 17 bills were introduced relating to distracted-driving.
Perusing some of these bills, there’s a sad irony in their fates: All were pronounced dead – like many drivers who took their hands off the wheel and eyes off the road.
