2. The law created in New Hampshire was created to protect the innocent lives that
traval the road every day from distracted drivers.
There have been many cases of casualtiea due to distracted driving.
As new smart phones and computers become easier to use and more convienent,
drivers are looking for more ways to do two things at once.
Driving while being distracted by the phone can cause much harm to themselves
and other families involved.
Hands Free Law
3. Law enforcement is
not doing enough
Law enforcement are not properly
regulating the new law put in place.
Many do not believe there is an issue
with a cell phone being used while
driving.
There is also new applications on
phones that can tell when law
enforcement is near.
This allows offenders to hide the fact
that they are breaking the law.
4. Statistics of Distracted Driving
There are many different statistics of distracted driving.
A person texting is 23 more times likely to get into a bad car crash than one who is
not.
In the last four years, more than 1200 people have died due to distracted driving.
Someone trying to make a phone call is 3 times more likely to get into a car crash
than a non-distracted driver
5. Law
This law discribes a person not able to use the phone for anything, such as
making phone calls, using the GPS, tweeting, text messaging, ECT.
The only was for someone to use their phone while in a car is if they use a
bluetooth or some other sort of wireless connection.
No one is allowed to use their phone even while the car is parked, such as in
traffic, stop sign or stop light.
6. Consiquences
There are few consiquences to using the phone while driving.
There are numerous fines for volators.
If an offender is caught more than twice, more serious action can be taken place.
7. I believe that if more serious consiquences were given
out in the first place, then less people would be willing
to be distracted.
Some people do not care about having to pay the fine.
If it were up to me, i would confiscate their lisence until
they retake another drivint test.
