Policy Analysis of CS/SB 90: Use of Wireless Communications Devices While Driving
CS/SB 90 was a policy presented in the Florida Senate, which intended to regularize the use of wireless communication devices while driving. The policy presented the point that texting or calling by the use of wireless devices while driving is not only harmful to the person engaged in the act, but also for all the other people on road. The text of the bill stated that the law enforcement agents should stop the people involved in the act and apply a penalty on them, as well as inform them about their right that no law enforcement agent is liable to search their wireless communication device when they are stopped for using it while driving (Senate Bill 90). A different perspective on the issue is that it is endangering the lives of the general public and needs to be controlled.
The general public, specifically the vehicle owners having the wireless communication devices, would be affected by the policy, as they would have to pay the fine in case of violating it. The policy would be quite beneficial as it would ensure that no person is being distracted by wireless devices while driving and is careful about his/her as well as others safety and security. The policy is not costly at all as it just requires the law enforcement agents to be vigilant towards drivers (Schlesener, and Mauer, 1).
The policy is a good step towards ensuring the safety of all the people on the roads. The only recommendation for the policy is to ban the driving license of the repeat offenders, in order to refrain them from hurting other people. There have been a number of researches which reveal that most of the traffic accidents are caused due to the involvement of the drivers in their wireless communication devices (Lipovac, 134). So, the policy will serve the purpose of making the drivers more vigilant towards roads and not their devices.
