Legislation barring drivers from sending or reading a text message while operating their vehicle moved forward in both chambers this week. In the House, members of the Lower Chamber gave their support to House Bills 4370 and 4394 which together prohibits the activity but makes a violation a secondary offense, meaning law enforcement cannot stop a vehicle for texting alone and dictating that a violation carries no points against the offending driver’s license.

If Gov. Jennifer GRANHOLM had her way, about the only thing drivers under 18 could do in their cars is drive them.
The Governor, a mother or two teenage girls, said she not only supports legislation that restricts the number of passengers a teen can have in the car with them, but wants to ban their ability to use cell phones while driving.
