Monday 7 March, the Minister of Transport, Ray LaHood, the sound of a highly publicized and eagerly awaited online seminar about distracted driving and the efforts of the people can do to reduce youth car accidents. The event was sponsored by Consumer Reports, encouraged that a non-profit magazine had a recent excellent coverage of the dangers of distracted driving. While all agree that distractions are dangerous and should be avoided, many wonder whether the Federal Government can do nothing about it, especially as technology is becoming increasingly common.
This is a common criticism of LaHood, who deflected a fierce opponent down since he began as transport minister in early 2009. Last year, the department reported, there were 6,000 deaths and injured car accident nearly a half dollars directly attributable to driver distraction. But LaHood acknowledges that the performance was poor because it is a secondary offense, that driver cannot drive out called when they are stopped by a primary act like speed or disobey fires signaling.
In a wide-ranging interview in the April issue of Consumer Reports Magazine LaHood has promised to divert to work on the behavior of a primary offense, and pressure Congress to pass a national law for distracted driving. He is set against opponents that Member States should, what kind of laws and industry advocates say the law does not say yet proven. But what the proponent of the safety problems logging on Distracted Driving - the number one teen killer in the last year - is obvious. "People think that you can use anytime and anywhere, but I cannot drive with a cell phone or text messaging device, and safe," said LaHood.
It is in everyone's interest to reduce fatalities and driver distraction is a fundamental part of the puzzle. Teen parents, law enforcement and even start to get the message that is very dangerous and need to hear to avoid at all costs. But this has an impact? Or the driver still believe that death cannot car accident just happened to them? In the interest of national security, hope, the people, the distraction and traffic statistics stop the death begins to sink with the help of major programs of the Secretary LaHood. Of course it will require hard work by all sectors of society about the safety of road accidents, including parents, teens and government officials concerned.
