" What is being done?

States

• Many states are enacting laws—such as banning texting while driving, or using graduated driver licensing systems for teen drivers—to help raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and to keep it from occurring. However, the effectiveness of cell phone and texting laws on decreasing distracted driving-related crashes requires further study. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety keeps track of such laws.8 " 

CDC is working to pass more laws to stop texting and driving. How can we help? We can obey these laws as citizens and help keep our roads safe! Do your part, save a life.
