Once again we have more and more people aware which is good but we need to enforce it… Think back when you were a teen.. did you listen to your parents????? I was driving past the Mn State Capital recently and did see a legislator texting as they pulled out of the parking lot..no joke.. many people were leaving and I saw one hand on the weel and Blackberry in hand… wonder what he voted .. for or against…

A new contest is challenging teens to create and produce TV spots about the dangers of text messaging and driving.
Minnesota teens in grades nine to 12 are invited to submit a 30-second video message for the contest sponsored by the Minnesota Public Safety Department and AAA Minnesota/Iowa.
Since a state law took effect in August 2008, texting, e-mailing, composing messages and web browsing is illegal for drivers and carries fines up to $300.
