		<description><![CDATA[July is right around the corner. For some it means celebrating the Fourth of July, for others it means summer is half way over, but for teens in Iowa it means no more using a cell phone while driving.

July is a big month for distracted driving. Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Nebraska and Wyoming will join Iowa by putting their own anti-texting-while-driving laws into effect next month.

Texas teens, who are under 18, are banned from using their cell phone or any electronic device when they are driving. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Texting has become an addiction – everywhere you go you see kids, teens, and adults on their phones texting. We text at dinner, during class, at work, during a movie and even while driving! I myself can’t help to look down at my phone when I see that I received a text but in that split second it takes to read that message I am putting my life and other drivers lives in danger. How many more people must be injured or killed before we as “texters” realize that to spare a life we must put down the phone and drive?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you find yourself answering every incoming call, even when you’re driving? Or do you text while you’re driving, even though you know it’s extremely dangerous?

In Texas, it is illegal for drivers who are under 18-years-old to use their cell phones. Despite this fact, many novice drivers continue to use their phones to text and talk to friends while they are on the road.]]></description>
