Poll: State should have banned texting/driving

Idahoans have conflicting feelings about the success - or failure - they perceive in the just-completed legislative session.

But they’re pretty adamant about one thing: The Legislature should have enacted a law against texting while driving.

In the most recent cdapress.com poll, 85 percent of respondents — 1,371 of them — said the Legislature should have banned texting while driving. Only 14 percent (218 votes) said the Legislature should not have banned texting while driving, and 1 percent (15 votes) had no opinion.

Press polls aren’t scientific. Visitors can vote as many times as they wish, but the program will count only the first vote from each computer.
