A new bill backed by legislative Republicans would crack down on distracted driving. Drivers in Wisconsin would only be allowed to use navigation devices and make phone calls while behind the wheel. Using apps or surfing the web would carry penalties for drivers caught doing that kind of thing. Senator Van Wanggaard and representatives Shannon Zimmerman and Ron Tusler are the sponsors of the bill. Current law only closes the door on texting and e-mailing while driving. An average of 100 people die every year on Wisconsin roads due to distracted driving. A hearing will be held November 16th.
