Distracted Driving Epidemic. Oregon House Bill passes.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon lawmakers are cracking down on distracted driving, which the Oregon Department of Transportation has called an epidemic.
A new bill that passed 21-8 in the Oregon Senate makes it illegal to do anything on your phone while driving. House Bill 2597 expands the 2010 law that made it illegal to talk or text while driving and increases the penalty from a $500 fine to $2,000.
The bill defines a “mobile electronic device” as something not permanently installed in a car that you use for texting, talking, playing music, navigation, internet etc.
“We are broadening the scope of what qualifies under the definition of using a mobile communication device while driving,” Sen. Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene)."
Looks like ONCI is in the right place at the right time with
the right product.
