Message: From GoLocalProv by Paul J. Spetrini, GoLocalProv News Editor: Rhode Island’s law against texting while driving is proving ineffective at stopping the behavior and now, slightly more than two years after its original enactment, lawmakers are moving forward with plans to stiffen the penalties for those caught composing, reading or sending such a message while behind the wheel. A bill introduced in the House last week by Representative Charlene Lima would fundamentally alter the way the Ocean State enforces its current law against texting while driving and would put in place a new system where, after their first offense, offenders would be required by law to install a device in their vehicle that prevents text messaging and cell phone calls that aren’t to 911 or another emergency number. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/ris-texting-while-driving-law-proving-ineffective
