Cell Phone Bill Dies In State House
The House has killed the bill that would ban hand-held cell phone use while driving by a vote of 55 to 33on the house floor. According to Louisiana Highway Safety statistics 14 people died in 2009 in car crashes involing a driver using a hand held phone. That argument wasn't good enough for law makers to support the ban.
