[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 762644, member: 29360"] [B]DOT 14-10 Tuesday, January 26, 2010 Contact: USDOT Public Affairs Tel: 202-366-4570 U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Announces Federal Ban on Texting for Commercial Truck Drivers [/B] U.S Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today 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. “We want the drivers of big rigs and buses and those who share the roads with them to be safe,” said Secretary LaHood. “This is an important safety step and we will be taking more to eliminate the threat of distracted driving.” The action is the result of the Department’s interpretation of standing rules. Truck and bus drivers who text while driving commercial vehicles may be subject to civil or criminal penalties of up to $2,750. [/QUOTE]
