• Agency Recommends Total Ban On Cells When Driving

Talking on a cellphone while driving may be a thing of the past if state lawmakers adopt a recommendation by the Federal Transportation Agency. The National Transportation Safety Board believes texting, emailing or chatting while driving is simply too dangerous to be allowed anywhere in the United States. The board is urging all states to impose total bans except for emergencies following recent deadly crashes, including one in Missouri after a teenager sent or received 11 text messages within 11 minutes.

• Big Change to Air Shows Unlikely: ; Faa Official Says No New Rules to Be Created Following Deadly Crash

Besides those killed, about 70 people were injured.

• Editorial Calling for Sense Cellphone Ban Retreats From Reality ; Cellphone Ban Retreats From Reality

IN response to a classic modern problem, a federal agency is proposing an oddly retrograde solution. The National Transportation Safety Board recommended this week that states ban virtually all kinds of cellphone use by drivers. Let's put this in terms old- fashioned enough for the ban's proponents to understand: It sounds like a case of slamming the barn door after the horse has run off. This is not to deny that the advent of cellphones has raised safety issues on the roads.
