National Safety Council, which is a leading customer safety organization in the US, has urged countrywide ban for using cell phones and other such devices while driving.

At present, there are only few local and state laws which ban use of mobile phones and other hand-held devices while driving and according to National Safety Council, it’s time to make this law undisputed.

The National Safety Council is planning for lobbying for laws to ban cell phone use while driving in 50 American states as well as in Washington D.C. They are also planning to develop other incentive programs as well as sanctions while working with the Govt.

Janet Froetscher, who is president of National Safety Council, says in this connection, “It has really become a large scale problem and now this problem is getting worse. Now it is not hidden to anyone that cell phone use while driving is quite risky.”

“People know well that use of mobile phone while driving can be dangerous, but they don’t know dangerous it can be,” Froetscher said.

Froetscher has sent letters to different governors and other legislative leaders to adopt statewide bans.

“Now there are some ways that can help us to implement these laws and there is no different in implementing these laws with other laws implemented for drivers’ safety.”
