Lots of talk lately that the City of Midland is considering a ban on texting while driving. Was in El Paso this past weekend and they have a similar law but you can't even be on the phone while driving. If you put the phone up to your face they can stop you and give you a ticket.

Not sure what the fine would be for the city of Midland proposed ban, but I'm bet it would be like $250 to $500 for first offense.

They way I look at it, if we DROVE 10 years ago with no smart phones and definitely no texting, I'm sure we can do it again these days.  Safety first. I personally hope the law passes. If there is just 1 life or accident that can be prevented it would be worth it.

Do you want the ordinance to be passed?  Let's go OLD SCHOOL when there were no phones while driving!
