NTSB Focused on Florida

February 9th, 2011 by flanews

The National Transportation Safety Board is taking aim at Florida in an attempt to pass more roadway restrictions. Florida is just one of three states that don�t require car booster seats for children four to seven. There�s also no law banning texting while driving. NTSB Chairwoman Deborah Hersman says the lack of laws endangers children.

�We know that the solutions are simple: booster-seats, not being distracted while you�re driving, addressing teen-driver issues, drunk driving, motorcycle helmets. These are all very well-known and very understood issues that can save lives,� said Hersman.

Bills to ban texting while driving and requiring booster seats for children under seven have been filed in Tallahassee. They have NTSB support, but growing distaste from government interference among state lawmakers may kill the bills.
