Fairhope Councilman Wants to Ban Texting While Driving

Posted by Publisher on
Fairhope Councilmember Stankoski has proposed a ban on texting while driving in the city limits. Stankoski said at least two Fairhope residents had already been killed due to the practice and he recently encountered a dangerously-texting driver on the Bayway.

 Stankoski: "I felt very uncomfortable . . .  he wasn't paying attention."

Spanish Fort is also considering banning the practice.

Nobody drives under the speed limit on the Bayway. You would get run over.

Absolutely needs to be done, would be especially good if they ban talking on the cell phone while driving without a handsfree device as well.

Fairhope used to be a leader in innovations but in the past several years we've fallen behind neighbor cities.
