Abstract
In 2006, cell phones in motor vehicles continued to be a significant traffic safety concern for state legislatures. However, although phones in cars grabbed the most headlines, many state lawmakers now have broadened the topic to include a wider variety of driver distractions and potential regulations. This report provides information about cell phones and driving and the larger driver distraction debate. It examines the latest statistics and studies, details relevant laws and legislative activity, and analyzes the most critical issues. (Author/publisher)
