Virginia lawmakers target distracted drivers
Posted on Apr 28, 2009
In an effort to combat the dangerous effects of distracted driving, Virginia officials have named April 29 Virginia Distracted Driver Awareness Day. Distracted driving is a major issue for Virginia law enforcement officials and indeed across the country. Studies estimate that distracted drivers account for up to 80 percent of all motor vehicle accidents.
It does not take long for accidents to happen – a quick glance away from the road to fiddle with radio buttons can be enough to lead to a tragic accident. And if you think that hands free devices are making you a safer driver – think again. Researchers have discovered that it isn’t the way that a conversation takes place, it is the conversation itself that is the problem. So those bumper stickers are right – when you get behind the wheel, it is time to hang up and drive.
Various organizations like AAA Mid-Atlantic, DRIVE SMART Virginia, DMV, The Virginia Highway Safety Office, and the Virginia State Police have come together in an effort to spread the word that driving while distracted can be deadly.
Governor Tim Kaine declared April 29 Virginia Distracted Driver Awareness Day, and highlighted his commitment to cracking down on distracting activities by signing a bill into law that will ban text messaging while driving. The bill will take effect on July 1.
