A move to ban text messaging while driving is likely to go before state lawmakers during their next session.
Last year, lawmakers passed a law that attempted to deal with all forms of distracted driving, but some say it doesn't go far enough.
State Senator Bill Diamond says he'll introduce a bill to ban texting while driving.
The U.S. Congress is considering legislation to push all states to ban texting by drivers.
Some states and cities have already passed such laws.

I decided to do something about it after my three year old daughter was nearly run down right in front of me by a texting driver . Instead of a shackle that locks down phones and alienates the user (especially teens) I built a tool called OTTER that is a simple app for smartphones - low cost, no recurring fees. I think if we can empower the individual then change will come to our highways now and not just our laws.
