Texting ban reduces teen fatalities according to study
A new study looked at the effect of recent texting bans on driver behavior. It found that a texting ban could reduce teenage fatalities in auto accidents by up to 11 percent.
Each state has a unique texting ban. Oklahoma only bans young drivers from texting behind the wheel. However, it is a primary offense, which means an officer may stop a driver simply for sending a text message.
An effort to put in place a broader ban on texting while driving for all drivers stalled out in the Oklahoma state legislature during the spring. Some states, such as neighboring Texas have yet to ban texting at all.
