It may soon be illegal to text and drive in Toledo. City Council is expected to vote on an ordinance that would make that the law during a meeting late Tuesday afternoon. Members of council say the law would keep drivers eyes on the road, instead of their cell phone. They hope that this measure will lead to fewer crashes on Glass City roads and highways. If the ordinance is passed, it would make it illegal to read, answer, and send text messages while you are driving a vehicle. The ordinance would go into effect Jan. 1. The measure would allow motorists to answer and talk on your cell phone. If found guilty of texting while driving, on first offense, it would be a minor misdemeanor, and could cost you up to $100 in fines.  « Less
