Ban on Handheld Cellphones While Driving in North Carolina

This petition was published by Sarah on Jan 20, 2003

We, the undersigned citizens of North Carolina, draw the attention of the North Carolina state government to the following:

THAT the distraction caused by mobile phone use while driving quadruples the risk of a collision during the brief period of a call, a rate equivalent to the impairment caused by legal intoxication,

THAT legislation banning the use of a handheld mobile phone while driving a moving vehicle would greatly assist in reducing fatal car collisions,

THAT there are many other safer options available to the public, such as hands-free mobile phones and voice recognition dialing,

THEREFORE we are petitioning that a North Carolina law be passed to ban the use of a handheld mobile phone while driving a moving vehicle in order to promote the well being and safety of the citizens of North Carolina.
