Have you ever sent or received a text message while you were driving? Chances are good that you are. Unfortunately, texting, while driving drunk as much or more while driving can affect driver response time. It quickly in the United States the problem of epic proportions is life threatening. Many states have banned texting while driving, but studies suggest that it may not be enough. Difficult for communities with public service advertising campaigns need to combine tough laws. New technology coupled with anti-texting, for all of us will be able to make roads safer.
Triple A Foundation for a traffic safety survey conducted in 2009 found that 5 respondents for texting, while driving admitted. 16-19 year old category number two for a jump. Students against destructive decisions the organization found that 73% number is close to the teens. It is those who admitted to it. Why are these numbers so dangerous? Drivers who send text messages to dramatically increase your chances of a collision has occurred.
Transport Research Laboratory report that texting, the driver's response time per cent, 35 so the legal limit drunk, which was 12 percent worse than the worst percentage by slow, or who hemp, which was 21 per cent slower took drivers who were not distracted from corrupt or more. This is a serious problem in our country.
Currently 30 states ban texting while driving. Many to ban cell phone use in cars with all the pending legislation. Kansas State Senate Bill 300 passed in May of 2010. It has been said that a public street or highway bill a person who "texting," A wireless communications to write, send, or read a written communication tool to use would prohibit operating a motor vehicle. The bill goes into effect January 1 2011. Well if you ... Violations are $ 60. Enough of a deterrent is that?
United States is relatively generous in its anti-texting laws. China since 2004 have banned cell phone use in cars is. Russia and parts of India since 2001 has been. Western European countries after Japan 1999.Most cell phones with varying degrees of restrictions is prohibited. Netherlands or a fine of up to $ 3000 will introduce a two-week prison sentence. Now that is a deterrent.
The problem with cell phone bans that they are difficult to apply. Many drivers think they will get caught or just hold down the little phone. This results in an even greater amount of time that the driver on the road are not looking. In fact, the Automobile Club of Southern California, a recent study found that in January of 2009 to introduce a texting ban, texting, in fact doubled after driving. What needs to happen is that people understand how dangerous texting while driving needs. What has been proven effective in other countries are doing public service announcement campaign. These public awareness strategy as part of the country have been used as well, but we can not aggressive enough. A PSA from the UK take a look at this clip. Now that is a deterrent.
texting, while driving to use technology to fight technology is another approach to the problem. A safe driving system called the company that has developed a device called Key2safedriving. The hardware and software components. Hardware components, "catalyst" is called, the plug - on board diagnostic port built in just about every past 15 years found on automobiles. Software is compatible with a wide range of smart phones. Once activated, the phone comes within range of the catalyst allowed to receive calls, only emergency calls can not and texting is disabled. The incoming texts will send a response to the person busy driving. There are settings that can be set by the administrator of a range. Admin parents, or even law enforcement agencies, employers can be.
There are also applications that have a GPS feature that disables the phone texting more than 30 miles per hour is going to be installed with any phone. Unfortunately the phone if you are a driver or passenger does not recognize. Anti-collision technology and GPS tracking tool can help in the fight against distracted driving.
Plan:
We caught texting while driving hard for the people need laws. Punishment for drunken driving penalties for similar needs. The community service, heavy fines, including jail time and loss of license. Breathalyzers anti-texting technology on cars like repeat offenders should be established. Against the right weapon is education of texting while driving. I propose aggressive public service announcements every receiving or renewing their driver license will be shown. In high school they should be shown as part of a program. We also TV and radio campaign to educate the public need.
PSA can be used to pay for the increased penalty. Mandatory car technology can be used to pay for violators. High school programs may be serving your community as criminals fled. The U.S. television and radio air time already in some communities as a public service or stations can be donated by businesses in practice.
The program benefits are more than just a ban on texting while driving is more effective. Cost is not prohibitive and the fines will be paid by donations. It takes away some of the burden of law enforcement by educating the public.
I have shown that texting while driving in this country is a serious threat to public safety. Existing laws are not enough. We make hard laws and aggressive advertising campaigns need to combine. Likeier to educate the public to be a safe drive if we change the current sentiment that texting while driving is acceptable. We also help us to texting, while driving to keep from using the technology required. Lastly, a good role model might put off the phone while driving.
