U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood set the second national Distracted Driving Summit to be held September 21st, 2010 in Washington, DC.
Secretary LaHood will consult with DOT officials, law enforcement, Cell phone representatives, researchers and victims affected by cell phone use and car and truck accidents to further discuss what can be done to reduce distracted driving related car accidents.
The folks at the advocacy group called FocusDriven will be in attendance and looking to help in what can be done now to solve this ever growing problem. I urge you to support Focus Driven with contributions.
According to the group at Focusdriven, the 2010 Distracted Driving Summit will be live webcast at www.distraction.gov, enabling the participation of people around the country. Secretary LaHood and FocusDriven are encouraging those who can't attend in person - particularly students and classrooms of young drivers - to tune in and help put an end to distracted driving in their communities.
People watching the summit via webcast can also submit questions for panelists in advance by emailing DDSummit@dot.gov and indicating which panel the question is for in the subject line. Questions should be submitted by close of business on Monday, September 20.
