The Buffalo News reported today that the Town of Amherst last Monday became the first Erie County municipality to pass a law that would prohibit drivers from composing, reading or sending a text message while behind the wheel.

Niagara County and Erie County legislatures are expected to vote on similar proposed laws in the coming weeks.
