Just to socialize now does not work. However, blocking the radio frequency or cell phone signals inside the vehicle could be a practical solution. Yes, more or less as planned U.S. Transportation Secretary, Ray LaHood, to minimize the use of cell phones while driving. Technology that automatically disable the device in a car can become obligatory.
Ray LaHood has published its campaign, titled Faces of Distracted Driving, which aims to alert the motorists of the dangers of cell phone use while on the road.
"It's been a lot of technology that can turn off the cell phone signal, and we're studying it," LaHood said on MSNBC earlier this week, Friday, November 19, 2010.
He stressed, some 5,000 people died due to negligence in driving is not a trivial thing. Therefore, the stack of proposals, which received LaHood, suggested to implement similar technology in the car. Unfortunately, there are some problems if the technology to disable phones in the car applied.
First, the application of this technology course will cost very expensive. In effect, automakers will inevitably raise the official price of his cars. Second, not everyone will be able to use any mobile facility, not only drivers but also passengers.
Third, can you imagine if the phone is inactive during an emergency? Such as getting lost or becoming targets of crime of robbery? Fourth, the GPS features in mobile phones will be memorable.
This idea is still in the assessment of the Department of Transportation in the United States. If you simply disable the mobile phone in the car, it may already be dozens or even hundreds of devices capable of.
However, there is no technology that is really efficient and able to minimize the use of mobile phones in the car effectively. The reason, of driving while using a cell phone ban and the ban on driving in a drunken state is different and can not be equated.
