Parkland May Become First City In Broward County To Ban Texting While Driving

Parkland may become the first Broward County municipality to place a ban on text messaging while driving, according to the CBS 4 news website. The ban was approved in a unanimous vote among city commissioners in September, and a final vote is scheduled for tonight. If approved, the ban will take effect immediately, making texting while driving illegal in Parkland and fining violators of the law up to $100.
