Blog: A threat to the roads

February 07, 2012 12:00 AM
The Utah State Senate has passed a bill which would ban teenagers ages 16 and 17 from talking on their cell phones while driving. The bill passed 19-9 on Tuesday and will now move on to the house. Utah tried to pass similar laws in past years, which passed in the Senate but not the House. In 2009, Utah joined 34 others states and banned texting while driving. Here in Utah, however, they treat cell phone use as part of the problem of distracted driving. Thus, it is only an offense if the driver is also committing some other type of violation.
