I wonder how long it will take (if ever) for them to make this the law for all drivers??
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced a final rule specifically prohibiting interstate truck and bus drivers from using hand-held cell phones while operating their vehicles.
Drivers who violate the restriction will face federal civil penalties of up to $2,750 for each offense and disqualification from operating a commercial motor vehicle for multiple offenses.
The States have three years to implement by State law the disqualification provision for intrastate drivers.
