Ban on Cell Phones While Driving Begins in Las Vegas

Category: Auto Safety, Blog, News Tags: , , , , , , ,

Ban on Cell Phones While Driving Begins in Las Vegas

A new bill that bans the use of cell phones while driving begins on October 1, 2011 in Nevada. If you’re caught talking or texting while you’re driving and you’re not using a hands-free device, law enforcement officers will pull you over. As the bill goes into effect, you can only receive a warning, but beginning January 1, 2012, officers can start issuing tickets for this offense. A first-time ticket for this offense will cost $50, and fines go up to $250.

Information on punishment for this offense comes from the Nevada Highway Patrol and Senate Bill 140. First offense: $50 fine. Second offense in seven years: $100 fine and points against a driver’s record. Third offense: $250 fine. In construction zones, the fines double.

This fall, Nevada Highway Patrol will coordinate with local police departments to increase patrols to catch people on their cell phones while they are driving.

Many other states already have a ban in place on texting and talking on cell phones while driving. Hands-free devices allow drivers to communicate on cell phones without looking at their phone, but studies have shown that even hands-free calls are a huge distraction to drivers. While talking on a cell phone, a driver’s attention is focused on the conversation and reduces a driver’s concentration on driving.

Don’t drive distracted. No call is so urgent that it’s worth putting your life, and the lives of others, at risk.

Pedestrian With A Walker Killed By Hit-and-Run Driver In Las Vegas

Last Thursday,  August 25, 2011, a hit-and-run driver killed a man who was using a walker to cross Boulder Highway. The Las Vegas website, 8newsnow.com, reported that the accident occurred around 8:30 p.m. A vehicle headed southbound on Boulder Highway hit a man with a walker who was crossing the highway a little south of Lamb Boulevard.

The news story also mentioned that the man was outside the crosswalk. No other details were available.

Remember, if you have information on a hit-and-run related accident, please share it with police. For a driver involved in an accident, even if the accident is not your fault, you must stop and call for help. Never leave the scene of an accident you are involved in, even if it’s not your fault. Call 9-1-1, and make sure help arrives. After you call 9-1-1, call your attorney to protect your rights.

Accidents are a tragic part of living, but they can be made worse by a lack of regard for human life. The collision may be an accident, but leaving the scene is no accident. The criminal charges for hit-and-run are serious.  Please be safe on the road, and if you see something, report it. If you’re involved in a accident, report it.
