Com a 3 t he doer government is preparing a Law that would ban Drivers from using cellphones As part of a legislative focus on protecting the Economy and Manitoban a safety when provincial politicians get Back to business next month. Premier Gary doer hinted about a month ago the province wanted to do More to increase Road safety but he was Coy on when his government might introduce the cellphone Law and whether it would be done through an outright ban or something like a Public education Campaign. However sources Tell the free press Manitoba will now fall in line with a number of other Canadian provinces such As Ontario which this week introduced legislation to ban cellphones and other communication devices while driving. The Ontario Bill bans cellphone use even at a stoplight dealing Blackberry use text messaging and hand held Gas use. Its intended to Force motorists to use hands free voice activated equipment when making Calls on their cellphones. If caught by police Drivers will face fines of at least $ 500 and Demerit Points. Newfoundland Quebec and Nova Scotia have All recently introduced new guidelines to prevent Drivers from using hand held devices while Prince Edward Island is looking at similar legislation. Cellphone bans for Drivers Are already in place in about 50 countries including Australia China and France. Other safety issues on the government Agenda include a ban on smoking in vehicles when children Are present and a requirement to use proper Booster seats for older children who Are too Small for regular Seatbelt. Both these ideas were called for by Manitoba ass liberals earlier this year. The province could introduce each As part of an All encompassing safety Bill or simply add amendments to the Highway traffic act. Liberal Leader or. Jon Gerrard said he supports a ban on Drivers using cellphones. Its important the government brings in a Bill thatus based on scientific evidence he said. We want to make sure the details Are right. Four weeks ago doer said the new Laws could be introduced during the fall legislative session which starts nov. 20 and Breaks dec. 4. However the worldwide economic crisis forced the government to shift gears. It said late last week it wanted to focus on Manitoba ass Economy. The throne speech will include an economic statement to give Manitoban a look at the a Dps legislative priorities for the coming year. Bruce. Owen free press. My. Ca experts including the Caa say the use of electronic portable devices while driving puts people at a considerable risk for an Accident or fatality. In fact 20 per cent of All collisions can be attributed to driving distracted. In the United states the insurance information Institute cites an april 2006 study that found almost 80 per cent of crashes and 65 per cent of near crashes involved some form of Driver inattention within three seconds of the event. The study was a joint Effort Between the National Highway traffic safety administration and the Virginia tech transportation Institute. The u. S. National safety Council said the dangers in cellphone use Are the conversational element. Drivers that would otherwise be alone and not distracted by talk often choose to introduce conversation into their environment via cellphone. Depending on the context of that conversation the level of Driver distraction is debatable. The More emotional the conversation the More distracted. Data on crashes caused by cellphone distraction is unknown As most Drivers Are unlikely to admit to police or insurance adjusters they were talking on a cellphone or text messaging someone when they crashed. While nine in 10 Canadian Drivers dont approve of using a cellphone behind the wheel More than half of them admit to using one while driving according to an rec insurance Itsos Reid Survey released this week. In anticipation of widespread bans of electronic devices for Drivers North american car manufacturers Are already building hands free technologies right into new models. From the wire services get off the phone or else Why More and More governments Are Banning cellphones while driving Manitoba Drivers could face hefty fines demerits under legislation by Bruce Owen everyone agrees from insulation installer Dave who takes cellphone Calls from his Girlfriend while driving at lunch hour and while on his Way Home from work to Julia Genik who walked the length of Garden City shopping Centre on thursday and gathered items to buy while talking on a cellphone. Everyone agrees the province should ban cellphone use in vehicles. Dave 27, who would not give his last name insisted he drives perfectly Well while driving and talking on a cellphone he owns two. Its other people who cant drive and talk at the same time. I watch what ism doing but a lot of people they dont even think he said. Ive seen it too often where people Cut you off because they re talking on a cellphone. The proposed Law would be difficult to enforce he said but he agreed something like the $ 500 Fine proposed in Ontario could make people think twice. It will make roads safer added Genik in her late teens. Genik said two friends have had Road collisions because they were text messaging while driving. One Girlfriend slowed into a parked car and another Friend did not slow Down in time and hit a car stopped at a traffic Light. Kristi Kork 18, also had a Friend cause a collision because she was text messaging. My close Friend got toned because she ran a red Light while texting on the phone. Kork said she Felt women would be hardest hit by the cellphone ban. I find women text a lot More. I would say they make Calls a lot More too. She tried text messaging and driving once she said and never again after she nearly had a collision even Tom cd thatus his real surname thinks cellphones in cars should be banned. But its going to wreck his business he said. Customers wont be Able to reach him As quickly at his Kiosk in the mall and he might miss Calls. Ill be homeless because i wont be Able to run my business. Bill. Redekop free press. My.
