Show Notes
Florida lawmakers continue to grapple with the issue of distracted driving, despite the human toll and growing awareness. Despite three consecutive years of stalled bills, including a recent attempt by Republican Representative Omar Blanco, the push for a hands-free driving law persists. The stakes are high, with over 300 fatalities, 52,900 crashes, and 2,100 serious injuries attributed to distracted drivers in 2025 alone. Advocates like Demetrius Branca, whose son was killed by a texting driver, urge lawmakers to prioritize safety over legislation.
