Use Of Hand-Held Mobiles When Driving

EDM number 1108 in 2001-02, proposed by Janet Anderson on 10/04/2002.

That this House recognises the inherent dangers of using a hand-held mobile phone while driving a motor vehicle; believes that engaging in a mobile phone conversation impairs drivers' ability to react to potentially hazardous road situations; deeply regrets the 17 deaths on Britain's roads in accidents involving the use of mobile phones; is greatly concerned by new research which reveals the dangers of using a hand-held mobile phone when driving are comparable to driving over the legal alcohol limit; recommends a complete ban on the use of hand-held mobile phones when driving; and calls upon the Secretaries of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions and Home Affairs to initiate a wider public debate on the safety implications of the use of both hand-held and hands-free mobile telephones when driving a motor vehicle.

This motion has been signed by a total of 129 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
