Federal employees can no longer use their cellphones while driving.
By Emily Main
I found this article while researching what was being done about cellphones while driving at the federal level. "Because of an executive order signed by President Obama late Wednesday
evening, federal employees are now banned from using cellphones to call
or send text messages while driving federally owned vehicles, using
cellphones to conduct federal business while driving private vehicles,
or using federally owned cellphones in any manner whether driving public
or private vehicles. And more regulation about cell phones and driving
may be on the way. A summit in Washington, DC, about distracted driving
revealed widespread support for a nationwide ban on behind-the-wheel
cellphone use. And that includes headset and hands-free phone use."
I was very excite to see that something was being done!!
