text: Most states have fines for being caught texting while driving. If you are texting while driving and kills someone, you could be charged with vehicular homicide or manslaughter. If found guilty of these charges, you could spend a lot of time in jail. I think this is a really good law because even though it doesn't stop everyone from texting while driving, it does stop some people who know this is a law and they could go to jail for breaking it.
