Rhode Island Personal Injury Lawyer Mike Bottaro Interviewed Regarding Texting and Driving
(firmenpresse) - PROVIDENCE, RI -- (Marketwire) -- 03/27/12 -- On March 26, 2012, AV-rated Rhode Island personal injury lawyer Mike Bottaro appeared on CBS's "The Rhode Show" to discuss the latest news regarding texting and driving.
"April has been designated as National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and as we head into the warm weather season, it is more important than ever to warn our younger drivers about the dangers associated with texting and driving," explained Mike Bottaro.
Attorney Bottaro is the founder of The Bottaro Law Firm LLC, a personal injury law firm serving residents of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. He has written and spoken extensively about the dangers of distracted driving, especially emphasizing the issues with texting and driving. Last summer, The Providence Journal published Bottaro's editorial regarding the dangers of texting and driving.
During the CBS television interview, Attorney Bottaro cited a study that established the average person texting and driving has their eyes off the road for a whopping five seconds. "As a , I have witnessed numerous preventable tragedies in the recent years caused by drivers distracted by testing and driving," Bottaro added. He noted that Rhode Island is one of 36 states that currently prohibit texting and driving and legislators are considering for stricter laws such as banning the use of handheld cell phones except for emergency personnel. Attorney Bottaro noted that Rhode Island legislators are again considering such a measure during the 2012 legislative session. "Rhode Islanders should contact their elected officials and urge passage of this important safety law," said Bottaro.
In advocating for stricter laws, Bottaro cited to a recent study released by the State of California. The study reviewed car accident crash data relating to distracted driving both before and after California's 2008 law prohibiting texting and driving.
"Their study found a significant decline of car accidents caused by distracted driving since the 2008 law. This supports the notion that stricter laws can work, especially in tandem with education," added attorney Bottaro. "As any top rated will tell you from experience, younger people especially are causing more car accidents on our Rhode Island highways from texting and driving."
