Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year, according to the journal's publisher, the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. (Livescience.org, 1995)
CELL PHONE USE BAN WHILE DRIVING ANY MOVING VEHICLE
We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States of America feel the need to draw further attention to improper cell phone use while driving and the lack of adequate fines for violators.
Intentional, distracted drivers increase the rate of fatal car accidents at an immeasurable level that may rival or surpass that of drunk driving.
Legislation implementing stiffer fines to the effect that the violator be banned from owning a cell phone for up to a year or minimum fines of $1000 or more and making a 3 strike rule to ban violators from owning a cell phone for life.
This is only compounded by distracted drivers on the phone making hand gestures and frequently removing both hands from the wheel because of the engagement in a phone call.
Therefore we are petitioning that a law be passed in California and potentially country wide to dramatically stiffen fines for those intentionally choose to break the law.
