Isn't this helping prevoke dangerous driving? Even if they don't grab there cell phone to call, grabbing a pen and writing down the number to call later is ju st as dangerous. I just find it ironic these companies with the bumber stickers is suppose to help removing dangerous driving when its actually worsening the sitution. Just my 2 cents. I think Ray LaHood should put ban on these stickers as well. I noticed a far amount of company owned vehicles have these 1800 hows my driving bumper stickers.

Good legislation combined with technology and individuals taking responsibility to stop self-inflicted distractions will help reduce the 6 million accidents that occur in the US annually. However, there is too much focus on texting and cell phone use. A broad approach to distracted driving is critical because most accidents are caused by other distractions ... interesting signs, kids asking questions from the back seat, music on the radio as well as many other events on the road and in the car. We will not be able to regulate or remove all of those distractions. Recent discoveries about how the brain works point to another way to increase driving safety – improve the driver's ability to focus and react. We built DriveSharp, a brain fitness software program recommended by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, to put those discoveries into practice. DriveSharp’s clinically-proven technology makes people safer behind the wheel by training the brain to think faster and react quicker.
