States that ban texting while driving

Michigan still hasn't joined the ranks of states that ban texting while driving. Proposals are still in committee while the legislature ... um ... I'm not sure what they're doing.

Meanwhile, a major law enforcement group has switched its position on the issue. According to USA Today, the Governors Highway Safety Association (yes, there's an organization for everything and everybody) previously had opposed state laws that ban texting while driving, but the group has done an about-face. Their position now is that texting is "indisputably a distraction and a serious highway safety problem."
