Ban the use of cell phones while operating a vehicle
Published by Nick Peterson on Apr 26, 2009
Target: Minnesota
Region: United States of America
Background (Preamble):
Many groups have done research on the subject like The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society which determined that, “Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year.”
In addition, in a 2007 survey done by Nationwide Mutual Insurance they recorded that, “73 percent of drivers talk on cell phones while driving.” That poses a real danger to everyone on the roads given the previous statistics.
