Springfield, Massachusetts passed a home-rule petition on June 7th that would ban texting while driving. The ban would allow police to fine anyone who sends or receives text messages while behind the wheel of a vehicle. Fines will run up to $100 for first-time offenders, $200 for the second offense and $300 for a third or subsequent offense. The measure must next meet the approval of both the mayor and the state legislature.
