Ray LaHood’s Blueprint to End Distracted Driving

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s crusade against distracted driving is getting a lot of federal money behind it.  $2.4 million is being used for a pilot program in Delaware and California called Phone in One Hand, Ticket in the Other.  Here is more of what Mr. LaHood is planning: 

• Promote distracted driving laws in the 11 states without such rules
• Encourage auto industry to develop and fine tune technology to help prevent distracted driving
• Work on driver education course material to educate younger drivers
