LeasePlan USAs Dan Shive: Confronting a National Driving Safety Epidemic

2014-09-06 23:51:13| AutomotiveDigest.com - Automotive Industry News

When we asked Dan Shive, Vice President of Risk Management Services at LeasePlan USA, what the major fleet concerns are today, he responded that using cell phones while driving has become a national epidemic. We all know that there are a patchwork of different state laws out there -- addressing hand-held and hands-free devices, and complete bans -- but Dan believes we are seeing these laws change and evolve. "I think if you look at most of the information and studies out there, they indicate that the device is not the issue. It is the fact that you are on a phone call and that your cognitive distraction is taking over, versus paying attention to driving. That is really the problem; it is not necessarily the device. My gut feeling tells me that we are seeing the progression of laws that first allowed hand-held, then hands-free, and eventually they will move to full cell phone bans."
