New Law Banning Teen Drivers from Cell Phone Use
December 1st a new law will come into effect that bans sending text messages while driving. Further, it bans drivers under the age of 18 from both talking and texting on cell phones.
Governor Ritter signed the bill into law on June 1, 2009, saying, "Driving requires our full attention. Drivers should not be texting while behind the wheel. And drivers younger than 18 ought to be focusing on the road, not their cell phones." The bill was introduced after the death of 9-year-old Erica Forney of Fort Collins, who was struck by a car while riding her bicycle. The driver was distracted by her cell phone.

Come to the meeting and get all the information you need to play Mountain Vista Hockey this coming spring. The varsity and junior varsity teams will also be looking for student managers if you are interested. For more information, visit www.mvhshockey.com.
