PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — A law that would make texting while driving illegal in South Dakota still awaits the governor's signature, but the state Department of Public Safety is already talking about a public awareness campaign. Lee Axdahl, the director of the office of highway safety, says the state already has some materials to warn against texting and driving. The state spends about $1 million a year on safety campaigns, including announcements that air on television and radio. Kathy Askew teaches driver's education at the Capital University Center in Pierre, and she shows that kind of anti-texting public service announcement to her students every day. [...] it's probably going to be overlooked by some.
