Over the past two years, many states have begun adopting laws that prohibit or limit the use of cell phones for texting while driving. Currently, Missouri (along with nine other states) has a ban on texting for younger drivers, but authorities believe the state may expand the texting ban to all drivers.

Authorities believe such restrictions may help reduce the number of accidents on Missouri roadways each year by limiting the amount of in-car distractions for drivers.
