NJ ENACTS HAND HELD CELL PHONE BAN WHILE DRIVING

Hey New Jersey residents… I know you know this already, but as of March 1, 2008, you can be stopped, ticketed and fined for driving while talking on your handheld cell phone. Get a hands free attachment or use the speakerphone option, or better yet, don’t use the phone just to catch up with old friends while you are driving…. Remember, driving while distracted is very dangerous and has led to quite a number of auto accidents… According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 80 percent of all crashes are the result of driver inattention.
