Montana is only state without driver texting ban

Montana became the only state in the nation that does not ban at least some drivers from texting when a new law took effect in South Carolina this week.

State Department of Transportation Director Mike Tooley said Wednesday that while he believes Montana needs such a ban, the state has never led the charge for new laws regarding highway safety, leaving it to municipalities.

"I am disappointed that once again we’re last to take something regarding highway safety seriously," Tooley said, noting the state went without a statewide law on child safety restraints for years.
