engaged in the operation of a motor vehicle in Wisconsin Rapids in the United States.&nbsp; A ban on texting while driving went into operation across the whole of the state last year.&nbsp; However, a group of students from Wisconsin Rapids East Junior High School made it their business to get the law expanded to include straightforward cell phone use as well, presenting a plan to the city council, which has now been approved, and will become law in four months time, in October.<br>\n\u201cKnowing that we were able to come forth with our idea and just seeing through the whole process was really cool,\u201d says 10th grade student Hannah Kiiskila.&nbsp; Fellow tenth grade student Nick Munce concurs, saying that \u201cI\u2019ve almost got hit a couple of times from people talking on their phone (while driving).&nbsp; It\u2019s dangerous and I think something that needs to be done and it has.\u201d<br>\nThe council has now passed the ordinance with a vote of 5 \u2013 3, although some of the council members are concerned as to where the draw the line.&nbsp; \u201cCan they not drink in their car?\u201d wonders Mary Jo Carson, the Mayor of Wisconsin Rapids.&nbsp; \u201cYou know, it\u2019s a question of the civic rights of people and how far do you go to impose upon those rights.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Junior high school students have
