A bill that aims to outlaw texting behind the wheel passed a key House committee today in Tallahassee.
The Roads, Bridges and Ports Committee voted unanimously today in favor of House Bill 41, which would ban Florida motorists from text-messaging while driving. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Doug Holder, R-Sarasota, is one of no less than a dozen such proposals up for discussion during the current legislative session.
Florida is one of 23 states considering legislation to ban texting behind the wheel.
In a news release, Holder said he is thrilled the issue is finally getting attention. A similar bill introduced in the House last year stalled and died.
House Bill 41 now moves to the Public Safety and Domestic Security Policy Committee for consideration.

In an effort to reduce accidents involving nightclub revelers, one Romanian town has put up traffic signs warning motorists to be aware of drunks in the road.
Pecica Mayor Petru Antal ordered the signs that depict the image of a kneeling partier next to a bottle of alcohol that says "Attention -- Drunks" to be erected along the roads in and out of the town that has a vibrant nightlife.
The mayor pointed out that drivers are at risk of running over local residents, who enjoy the town's bars to the point where they are unable to take proper care of themselves on the way home.
"We have to target the drivers because by the time the pedestrians get into this state they are beyond caring," Antal said. He added that he believed the signs were a positive contribution and was not worried about the image sent out about the town's citizens.
