Though Sam Yoon's proposed term limits didn't pass muster at the Boston City Council (for either the mayor or council members), the group did support banning texting while driving, an issue that has become more high-profile since a texting green line operator caused a crash earlier this year. The proposed language of the ban would make texting a civil offense punishable by fines that grow with additional offenses. Various tests have found the risk of automobile accidents to be anywhere from eight to 23 times greater when texting. And if the ban on texting while driving forces you into a cab, be prepared to pony up: a new measure would allow police to arrest you if they have "probable cause" to think you didn't pay your fare. Previously, nonpayment would had to be witness by an officer.
