State legislators consider cell phone driving bans

The Massachusetts state legislature is considering over a dozen bills related to restrictions on cell phone use while driving.

The bills range from banning talking to texting to both, state officials said.

"Texting while driving has become the new drunk driving. You can tell someone is on their cellphone just by the way they're driving," said Representative Peter J. Koutoujian.

A House and Senate conference committee is currently working on a bill that will be acceptable to both houses of the legislature. For more info on the potential cell phone driving bans, check out this story from the Globe.
