"Laws banning texting while driving actually may prompt a slight increase in road crashes, research out today shows."

"Researchers at the Highway Loss Data Institute compared rates of collision insurance claims in four states — California, Louisiana, Minnesota and Washington — before and after they enacted texting bans. Crash rates rose in three of the states after bans were enacted."
