Dallas Accident Lawyers Saddened to See Text Messaging Ban Vetoed by Rick Perry
The Dallas Accident Lawyers of Eberstein & Witherite has seen a steady increase in texting while driving accidents.

DALLAS, TX, August 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Governor of the state of Texas, Rick Perry, vetoed a total of 23 bills on June 17th, 2011 report the Dallas Accident Lawyers of Eberstein & Witherite. One of the bills that were vetoed included a ban on the reading or sending of text messages while driving. Many people are relieved that the bill did not pass but many are also disappointed explain Dallas injury lawyers at Eberstein and Witherite.

Originally, the no texting legislation was approved by lawmakers, but Governor Rick Perry disagreed on the rule. He believed that it was just a "government effort to micromanage the behavior of adults." Tom Craddick, the former Speaker of the House was a key player in the advancement of the texting while driving ban confirm Dallas Accident Lawyers of Eberstein and Witherite. However, the ban on texting and driving spurred a huge debate with many opponents to the bill voicing their opinion. Many opponents believed that the ban is too harsh due to the fact that it would criminalize drivers just for reading a text message while driving. Opponents also argued that there are many other distractions while driving that are not illegal (putting on makeup, listening to loud music, eating, children or pets in the vehicle, etc). Should all of the prior be banned as well? Where will the line be drawn?

Many places in Texas, such as San Antonio and El Paso currently have laws that prohibit text messaging when operating a motor vehicle share the Dallas Accident Lawyers. Also, at least thirty other states have created statewide bans of texting while driving. Unfortunately, as our nation becomes more and more technology dependent, more car accidents will inadvertently occur as a result feel Dallas Injury Lawyers. The use of a cell phone to read and type text messages while driving creates a distracted driver who is unable to focus on the dangers of the road warns the Dallas Accident Lawyers at Eberstein and Witherite.

Governor Perry has been known for his extreme vetoing power in the past. This year, Perry vetoed a total of twenty four bills.
