Miss South Dakota Speaks Out Against Distracted Driving
Sunday, December 19, 2010
From Automotive Fleet:
Enforcing stricter distracted driving laws has become a top priority for states across the nation, as many are beginning to re-evaluate state crash data statistics and perform distracted driving studies. Every day, between 4,000 and 8,000 crashes related to distracted driving occur in the United States. Though cell phones are among the top distractions for drivers, the federal government includes eating, drinking, talking to passengers, interaction with in-car technologies, and use of portable electronic devices under secondary task involvement. State-proposed laws that target distracted driving are materializing quickly, with 11 laws taking effect in 2010 alone. State governments are quickly drafting new legislation to help deter the rising number of distracted driving-related crashes.
