Industry Leaders Help Shape TLC's Distracted Driving Rule Changes
from the Black Car News on line
The New York City Taxicab & Limousine Commission (TLC) unanimously passed amendments to an existing "distracted driving" rule at its December 17 public hearing, dramatically tightening restrictions on the use of cell phones and electronic devices while TLC regulated drivers are on the road. Penalties for violations were also increased.
The amendments are scheduled to go into effect in late-January, 2010.
Acknowledging the dangers of driving while texting and/or talking on the phone, most leaders of the for-hire vehicle industry were supportive of the rule change - in light of the fact that the TLC agreed to allow the continued use of hands-free devices for dispatching purposes. The rule now says that the devices must be mounted, and can only be used in short bursts for dispatching.
