Tell us about your experiences with texting drivers

We want to hear from you. Maybe you text when you drive. Or perhaps you've experienced the danger of driving around others who text and drive.

Transportation officials estimate 71 Idaho fatalities in 2008 alone were the result of distracted or inattentive drivers. It is the most prevalent contributing circumstance for multiple vehicle crashes in the state.

AAA believes stronger educational efforts and a good, enforceable law banning texting while driving is critical. Read more from Idaho Division President Jim Manion.
