text: Texting and driving needs to be taken more seriously now. It is so easy for someone to lose their life over a message. If there is a law for it then you follow that law because there is a reason for it being in full effect. Just imagine you lost a close friend or family member due to breaking the same law you once broke. The death toll in Georgia of people losing their lives to texting and driving drivers is 3,166. That number has increased dramatically ever since 2017. We could do so much better and help decrease that number to at least zero to little deaths. That is unacceptable, literally no one wants to have news broken down to them on how their mom, sister, brother, etc has died in a texting and driving incident.
