Distracted Driving

Distraction of the driver's attention, including the use of handheld devices such as text messaging and driving is a factor of many crashes. In 2017, it was reported that 3,166 people were killed in the car accident (8.5% of all deaths), but driving was disturbed, but many cases have not been reported

Using phones - driving phones and text messages - in particular is one of the most common distractions. Many state and local jurisdictions passed legislation to settle these lawsuits. Regardless of the current law, the message GHSA sends to all drivers is still "Do not use cell phones or other electronic equipment while driving, this is a hint of how to manage driver's distraction It is a list.

GHSA recommends the state to prohibit all drivers from using mobile phones. While text message banning and handheld prohibition are important, text message banning is difficult to implement. In states where sending text messages but not prohibited, the driver may claim to dial the phone number when stopped by the police. Law enforcement demo projects in New York, Connecticut, Delaware, and California show that mobile phone banning is effectively implemented and can reduce the use of mobile phones by drivers 2, 3.

GHSA supports the It Can Wait event. Under the leadership of AT & T, this event shared a simple message.

It means that public, law enforcement agencies, educators, businesses, consumer safety organizations, and legislators can prevent text messages, make use of social media, web surfing, video chat, and other dangerous behaviors to live It helps to find a solution to save. Since 2010, this campaign has gathered the commitment of more than 20 million people and has promised never to distract. Learn more
