police in Sherman in Texas are reminding drivers to take extra heed of the warnings when it comes to driving through school zones, as children and teenagers prepare to return to classes for the fall semester.<br>\n\u201cPlease, please watch for the kids,\u201d pleads crossing guard Mary Ann Dunavan.&nbsp; \u201cThey\u2019re excited, they\u2019re running, and they\u2019re not thinking \u2013 but the adults need to be.\u201d<br>\n\u201cEspecially for the first couple of weeks,\u201d adds Sgt Bruce Dawsey from Sherman Police.&nbsp; \u201cYou know, kids are excited about going back to school.&nbsp; They\u2019re running out between cars.&nbsp; They\u2019re not paying attention, and it\u2019s usually a crowded, congested area.&nbsp; So the last thing you want is someone to be distracted.\u201d The fact is however that as the number of cell phones only continues to grow, so too do the number of people who use them while driving, even regardless of what the law says, and Dawsey believes that it is in actual fact getting worse, largely down to the fact that so many cell phones or now also capable of surfing the internet and sending text messages in addition to their other functions, adding to the list of possible distractions.<br>\nThe fine for being caught driving while using a cell phone is $222, a steep price, and for a good reason.&nbsp; \u201cWe want it to be expensive for the sole reason of keeping people from doing it,\u201d Dawsey notes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Driving while using new or old cell phones is illegal in many
