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.
