MARTINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) - Sen. Jay Rockefeller joined a conversation in Martinsburg on the problem of distracted driving.
Rockefeller discussed the issue Saturday with driver education teachers, students and parents and law enforcement officials. The conversation focused on behaviors such as text messaging and cell phone calls that distract drivers.
Rockefeller introduced the distracted driving prevention act of 2009. He wants to provide grants as incentives to states to adopt laws to prohibit texting and hand-held cell phones while driving.
Rockefeller said he's pleased the issue is the focus of local concerns.
