GHSA is pleased to learn that Secretary LaHood plans to convene a distracted driving summit this fall. There are a variety of challenges with distracted driving, and we commend the Secretary for leading the effort to address this important highway safety issue. GHSA is particularly interested in strategies for enforcing texting and cell phone bans as well as technological applications that would limit or eliminate distractions. The Association looks forward to working with the Secretary and other partners as we develop distracted driving countermeasures.
Cell phone and texting laws are posted online at:
