year mandating seatbelts regulations, limiting teen drivers to only having one non-family passenger in the car, and working on a bill that would prohibit using cell phones and texting while driving.
As early as 2005, statistics showed 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries were caused each

mandate the use of
seatbelts and to establish a nationwide blood alcohol content limit of.08.
