At this time, AAA believes it is premature to ban the use of cell phones while driving. Instead, AAA advocates the following to address distracted driving:
Education. AAA is working to develop educational approaches that train drivers to recognize when they are being distracted and learn how to manage those distractions. Brochures and other materials are available at AAA offices around the country. AAA also is incorporating this information into all driver education programs including novice driver, driver improvement and senior driver programs.
Research. Research is needed to understand how distraction contributes to crashes and major causes of distraction. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has published a report, and more research is under way.
Cooperation. AAA is working with policy-makers, motor-vehicle offices, manufacturers and other motoring clubs worldwide on this issue. More information will be added to this site as results of these advocacy efforts are available.
In cooperation with business groups and the government, AAA each year participates in National Car Care Month, designed to help consumers understand the benefits of proper vehicle maintenance.
