That executive order that goes live as of today, Wednesday, December 30, 2009 and means that more than 3 million federal workers are prohibited from texting while driving government vehicles.

Along with the executive order going live today, the Federal Government has also launched their own website on the subject of texting while driving.  Distraction.gov is the government website that provides information, statistics, video, and other content warning drivers about the dangers of texting while driving.
