Part of its advocacy plan is to convince businesses to ban cell-phone use for its employees.

Froetscher states, “Employers understand how dangerous the behavior is and their potential liability. We are asking all businesses to join us by adopting policies banning calling and texting while driving on the job.” [NSC]

The NSC is also asking legislatures to join their cell-phone ban proposal.

A letter by Froetscher will be sending a letter to all state governors and state legislature leaders asking them to adopt state bans on cell phone use by motorists.

Froetscher concludes, “It may be hard for some people to imagine how certain laws, such as those concerning drunk driving, teen driving, seatbelt use and booster seats, can be enforced by observation alone. Smart people in law enforcement get together to address such issues. They develop creative and successful measures to identify violators, such as high-visibility enforcement strategies.”

To learn more about different actions that distract motorists, please go to the NSA website “Distracted Driving.”

Addditional statistics about cell-phone use while driving is found on the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company website "Driving While Distracted: Statistics from Nationwide."
