Driver distraction has always been a problem. Although many activities can
potentially divert driver
attention, the cell phone has drawn attention to the issue. The cell phone is a highly
noticeable distraction in the
car, which makes it any easy target for restriction. It is easy to spot a driver with a hand to the
ear and know
he/she is distracted by a phone call. It may not be so easy to spot the driver whose mind is
elsewhere.
During the next few years, states and researchers will begin to accumulate more
information about the
implications of mobile phones and other devices on traffic safety. In the interim, as the
quantity of phones and
other wireless communications devices available on the road continues to grow, greater
constituent concerns,
local ordinances, and judicial activity will increasingly challenge lawmakers to address driver
distraction as a
traffic safety concern. It is likely that cell phones and driving will remain a significant part of
their legislative
agendas.
