The state Senate has long waffled on banning texting while driving. However, in the aftermath of a texting-caused Green Line crash that injured 49 people, the Senate supports a bill prohibiting reading or writing text messages while driving. The MBTA has already banned cell phones for its drivers; soon they may taboo on the road as well, at least for texting purposes. Having terrified many a passenger in her car by texting extensively while driving, this Bostonist can see the need for such a ban, but is pleased to still be able to text while riding the T—in stations that have cell service, at least.

Boy, I hope they ban it. I've seen way too many people answering the siren call of that crackberry while behind the wheel. I'm starting to believe that texting is, in fact, addictive, and people should really just stop expecting an instant response to everything, especially during peak driving time.
You "text extensively while driving"?! Jesus Christ, would you mind posting your commuting times so I know when NOT to be on the road? People like you are unbelievable.
