State law already bans texting and driving on Kentucky roadways, but enforcing those laws has been difficult.That makes the push for teen safety behind the wheel even more important.A new simulator is being used to show the potential dangers of distracted driving, and for many teens, those lessons are just as important as any law on the books.Crashes, cops, and the consequences of texting while driving play out virtually for teenagers rather than on the roadway."I ran into the bus. I was texting and I crashed. This is why I don't do that when I drive," said teen driver Delaney Smith.Texting while driving is a well-known problem Kentucky lawmakers have already targeted.Drivers can be fined up to $50 for texting or emailing behind the wheel, and the measure bans use of cellphones by teen drivers entirely.But the law is hard to enforce. So far in 2013, the Jefferson County Attorney's Office has handled 30 cases of texting while driving, and because they are difficult to prove, many of those have been dismissed.That's where the simulator comes in. It's part of a nationwide tour by AT&T to encourage teen drivers to put down the phone in a way the law sometimes can't."I've had friends that I've been in the car with and they've been texting and driving. I've snatched the phone up because its so dangerous," said Smith."They're like 'Oh my gosh, this could happen to me and my friends. We don't want to text and drive. It's dangerous,'" said teen safety advocate Wil Craig.That means each crash in the simulator may keep another one from from happening in real life.Kentucky's texting and driving law went into effect in 2011. Indiana also has a similar law.According to police, if someone is driving erratically while texting, that person can also be cited for reckless driving.
