We're all familiar with the designated driver concept. Most everyone with a drivers license has either been one or needed one. But now, the designated texter is a new idea being promoted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to target texting drivers. A recent study by State Farm Insurance and Harris Interactive says more teens are taking the initiative and volunteering to text for everyone.
