The National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that 28 percent of all car crashes - or 1.6 million per year - are caused by cell phone use, either talking or texting. So far 25 states have banned texting while driving. Oklahoma should follow suit and pass laws that will make it illegal to send an electronic message to a friend while behind the wheel of a car, truck or other motor vehicle in Oklahoma.
