GHSA: States can best respond to distracted driving

Quote:

WASHINGTON — High-profile crashes and extensive media coverage have dramatically increased the interest in distracted driving, particularly crashes involving cell phone use and texting, the executive director of the Governors Highway Safety Association said Monday in an article in Politico, a national political newspaper.

“GHSA recognizes that all cell phone use and texting while driving are extremely dangerous and, therefore, strongly discourages anyone from using a cell phone for any purpose while driving,” Barbara Harsha wrote. “Drivers need to focus on the driving task and restore some common sense to driving.”

To address this growing problem, the federal government does not need to sanction states that do not pass cell phone or texting while driving bans, she said.
