DOT Announces Federal Ban on Texting for Commercial Truck Drivers

Follow up to previous postings on dangers of texting while driving, this news release: “U.S Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced federal guidance to expressly prohibit texting by drivers of commercial vehicles such as large trucks and buses. The prohibition is effective immediately and is the latest in a series of actions taken by the Department to combat distracted driving since the Secretary convened a national summit on the issue last September.”
