Today, July 6th, 2010, Delaware Governor Jack Markell signed legislation that bans all drivers in the state from using hand-held devices while driving and imposes strict penalties for texting and driving as well.
Congratulations to Delaware for being the 30th state in a 50 state quest to end electronic device distracted driving. Only 20 more to go! We know by now that U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood won't rest until there is a nationwide ban and safe driving solutions.
“Electronic devices are potentially lethal in the hands of any driver,” said Secretary LaHood. “Thanks to Governor Markell, everyone who rides on Delaware’s roads will be safer due to enactment of this strong measure.”
Recently an awareness & research program began with the message "Phone In One Hand, Ticket In The Other" in Connecticut & New York. Distracted driving safety awareness has quickly moved past the "buzzword" phase and is beginning to be seen as the key in preventing company car accidents, injuries and fatalities.
