15 Years in Jail for Texting While Driving.

Utah recently passed a very tough bill banning texting while driving. It views the act is inherently reckless and punishes it as harshly as drunk driving.

Passed after a texting driver killed two scientists, the law would put texting while driving in the same legal category as drunk driving if any crash happens. It's a far stronger law than most of those already existing in other states; California's, for example, punishes offenders with a tiny fine, usually around $20.

In Utah, if you were to crash while texting, the punishment could be extremely severe—up to 15 years in prison. It's a harsh law but we can't deny that texting while driving is incredibly dangerous.
