text: Many people have realized that distracted driving caused by cellphones has become a real issue across the country and there needs to be changes made to prevent it. In many states, there have been new laws that have implemented to fight against this issue. Based on research done by the National Conference of State Legislature, 48 out of the 50 states, have passed laws that prohibit texting while driving and 18 out the 48, have no usage of handhelds while driving in place. However, not one state has an all cell phone ban in place, which could possible change in the future if current laws don't seem to be the solution. With these laws, driver receive fines that could cost them hundreds of dollars and could even lead to a suspension of license if drivers continue to repeatedly offend.
