Ford backs banning hand-held calls while driving
According to The Detroit News, Ford is publicly supporting a recommended federal ban on hand-held cellphone calls. So far they are the only automaker who cares enough about the issue to get involved.
The automobile manufacturer said on Monday that it endorses a bill introduced last month by . Carolyn McCarthy,Fords vice president of government affairs, Pete Lawson, said that the corporation is backing the proposed law because it represents a practical, commonsense approach to a national problem.Perhaps Ford is positioning itself for a government assisted sales boost with its hands free technologies like Sync and MyFord TouchCurrently, nine states and the District of Colombia have made the use of hand held cellphones by drivers illegal.Last week the Governors Highway Safety Association told the states that have no ban on hand-held calls to hold off on taking action until more research is completed.
It is possible that Fords involvement is due to concerns that lawmakers might want to get involved with regulating the automobile technologies that allow drivers to make hands-free cellphone calls. Supporting a political crusaders bill is a way to take regulatory attention away from their hands free products.Research conducted in labs and on roads shows that activity drawing drivers eyes away from the road whether text messaging, manually dialing a cellphone or reading maps substantially increases the risk of an accident or near misses, Lawson said.Ford believes hands-free, voice-activated technology significantly reduces that risk by allowing drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road,If you love to ride your bicycle and enjoy the exercise it offers, you will no doubt have to change a bicycle tube at some point due to a flat Inner tube Lawson said.he telecommunications giant Verizon has also publicly supported the bill.
McCarthy said Ford is demonstrating great leadership and being a good corporate citizen" by supporting her legislation.GM has been way out in front for years, among our employees, states and consumers, with a simple message of put the phone down and drive,said General Motors spokesman Greg MartinWere still doing our part, but were not certain what meaningful effect a federal ban would have at this time as these issues typically reside with state and local enforcement,filter paper are obviously the most popular and most widely used and given their cheaper nature, the most affordable. he saidGM does not allow employees who drive company cars to use a hand-held cellphone while driving.This article will discuss some of the factors that lead to an increase in tower crane sales and guide you about the usage, features and durability of the product.The language of the proposed bill says that states that decline to follow the federal mandate within two years might lose percent of their federal highway money. In theory most states would have no other choice but to comply with the law once taking away money is put on the table.
