NHTSA Pushes Drivers to Disconnect From Devices in Vehicles

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is studying ways to encourage new drivers to disconnect from mobile devices and the Internet while operating vehicles, Administrator David Strickland said.

“I’m not in the business of helping people Tweet better, I’m not in the business of helping people post to Facebook better,” Strickland said at an automotive technology conference today in Novi, Michigan. “My job is to make sure we keep people safe behind the wheel.”
