lores visitors to sign the “No Phone Zone Pledge” and completely abstain from cell phone use once the keys enter the ignition.
So the country has seemingly united in a stance against cell phone use, texting, and falling prey to accident-provoking distracted driving. But those who recall the general and wide-sweeping definition of “distracted driving” have complained that cell phones’ danger has not yet been specified with enough exactitude.
The NTSB has conceded that laws and pledges alone will not sufficiently ebb cell phones’ use, nor are they substitutes for thorough education for drivers. Phone activity and texting’s subsequent potential to cause disasters on the road requires exhaustive educational schemes, a la “It Can Wait,” to help improve drivers’ respect for the road.
