Feds Propose Total Ban Of Cell Phone Use For Commercial Drivers

The U.S. government on Friday proposed prohibiting commercial truck and bus drivers from using cell phones while behind the wheel.

The Transportation Department rule would affect approximately 4 million drivers, who are already banned by the government from texting while working.

The proposal is the latest move in Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's stepped-up campaign against distracted driving in which he has questioned cellphone use in passenger cars and "hands free" communications technology.
