Government Launches Distracted Driving Web Site

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a new web site devoted to distracted driving at www.distraction.gov.

The web site lists news releases related to distracted driving, state laws related to distracted driving, statistics and facts, frequently asked questions, research, and a section for reporters. You also can watch a 30-second public service announcement about distracted driving.

In 2008, 5,870 people in the U.S. were killed in crashes involving driver distractions such as texting, cell phone use, eating and drinking.
