Everyday, it seems that we see drivers breaking the existing law. The accident in Johnson this week was unnecessary. It was also a sad reminder that more education is necessary.
It is logical to think that many guests to our state are not aware of Vermont's handheld law. Younger drivers, likewise, might benefit from visible reminders.
I hope that more signs are planned for installation, especially at 'gateways' to Vermont. It seems reasonable that signs should be placed at significant impact points; school/college parking lot exits; entrance ramps to Interstates; hotel/motel parking lot exits; and, shopping center exits.
Mobile phone use while driving is a proven killer. Sadly, much of the inherent confusion could be eliminated with federal legislation.
