18 year old Aaron Deveau, made history this week, but not in a good way, on Wednesday he was found guilty on charges of vehicular homicide, texting while driving and negligent operation of a motor vehicle in a 2011 crash that fatally injured Donald Bowley, 55, of Danville, New Hampshire, and seriously injured a passenger in Bowley’s car. This is the first time a person have been sentenced to serve time in prison for Vehicular Homicide due to Texting and Driving!

This happened in Massachusetts and according to The Govenor’s Highway Safety Association, some 38 states ban text messaging for all drivers, while 31 prohibit all cell phone use by “novice drivers”. As you know several cities in North Texas have banned cell phone use in school zones and you can believe it won’t be long before Texas tries an individual for the same offense that Deveau was tried for!

PUT THE PHONE DOWN & STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING !!
