Twin Falls City Council has adopted a plan to ban texting-while-driving within its city limits.  The proposal, approved by council members Monday, will not go into effect until later this year.  Council members made the city the first in the state to ban the practice. If a driver is caught texting behind the wheel by police officers in Twin Falls, he will face a $50 fine.  Greg Lanting, councilman for the city, told KTVB television that drivers will be given time to adjust to the new law. “If officers see people they believe are texting they are going to be stopped and it will originally be an education thing trying to get people to realize it is against the law in the city of Twin Falls,” Lanting said/Dustin Hurst, Idaho Reporter.
