Distracted Drivers

A new device could soon be used by your local Mississippi law enforcement that is known as the breathalyzer for texting by distracted drivers. Due to a growing epidemic of car accidents caused by distracted drivers, a company is developing a device that reveals whether drivers were texting at the time of the crash. New York aims to be the first state which passes a bill authorizing police to use the Textalyzer device, with New Jersey, Tennessee, and Chicago to follow. This will become a big help for law enforcement because right now the only way police can find out if a...
