Navy base to crack down on texting while driving

Officials on the Patuxent River Naval Air Station base are bolstering efforts to enforce President Obama's executive order to prohibit text messaging by those using government vehicles. The base is establishing an armed forces traffic court that can restrict or revoke on-station driving privileges for military personnel in addition to addressing federal driving charges. The order also applies to privately owned vehicles used for government business, as well as vehicles equipped with government-supplied electronic equipment.
