PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A ban on texting while driving apparently works. A new study shows emergency room visits for car crashes fell in states with the ban.
Researchers say states with texting bans saw a 4 percent drop in ER visits after crashes.
That's equivalent to more than 1,600 traffic-related hospital visits a year.
The study was published in the American Journal of Public Health.
