Since 2017, California prohibits drivers from holding a smartphone in their cars, even at traffic stops. But the National Transportation Safety Board wants more from the Golden State.
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month and at an kickoff event Wednesday, the agency has called on California to lead the country in enacting a total phone ban in cars.
“Hands-free is not risk-free,” said Nicholas Worrell, Director of NTSB’s Office of Safety Advocacy at the event.
“If California will lead, the NTSB stands ready to support them,” Worrell said.
