Hey AAA, N1 on Txt Bans

And Thx 4 the Referral

AAA Campaign to Ban Texting While Driving in All 50 States Now Counts 30

No, it's not the heat getting to your head, but you might want to sit down anyway. Better World Club is, in fact, congratulating AAA on its continuing success in campaigning to prohibit text messaging while driving in all 50 states by 2013.

AAA launched its campaign in September of 2009 and has since been lobbying for federal and state laws that ban texting by drivers in places where such laws don't exist and to strengthen existing laws where they do. Granted, Better World Club had come out in support of a texting ban for drivers as early as February of 2007, at which time a AAA spokesperson in Florida didn't think that cell phone use by drivers posed a specific danger. AND, 18 states and the District of Columbia had already enacted "drexting bans" when AAA made its announcement. We're still happy that AAA came around to our side on the issue.

A study done in southern California before the campaign began found a 70 percent decline in texting by drivers after a texting ban was passed there.

On July 1, Delaware became the 30th state to enact a texting ban, joining a growing list that includes Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

The new law in Delaware also makes it illegal for drivers to talk on handheld cell phones. California, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington have similar laws that permit drivers to talk on cell phones only with a hands free device.

AAA commends Delaware in a press release at PR Newswire, and Better World Club commends AAA for its efforts in helping to get the law passed. (We'll commend them, but we won't send you directly to their website.)

AAA Oregon/Idaho was recently kind enough to give us a referral. AAA Oregon/Idaho doesn't offer fleet services, so when a potential customer called them to inquire about that coverage, the AAA representative suggested she might check out Better World. If AAA Oregon/Idaho hadn't already aped our Bicycle coverage, we'd suggest they refer us all the cyclists that call as well. LOL.

  • It’s great to see organizations like AAA making real progress in public safety initiatives like banning texting while driving. Awareness and legislation are both critical in reducing road accidents. It reminds me of how important proactive efforts are across all areas — even in education. Whether it’s road safety or supporting students with resources like Assignment Help Sydney timely intervention can make all the difference. Kudos to AAA and also to those spreading the word!

  • The AAA campaign to ban texting while driving in all 50 states is a crucial and timely initiative. With 30 states already on board, this effort highlights the growing recognition of the dangers posed by distracted driving. Texting behind the wheel significantly increases the risk of accidents, putting not only the driver but also passengers and other road users at risk.

    AAA’s campaign emphasizes the need for consistent laws nationwide, as patchy regulations can lead to confusion and reduce overall effectiveness. A unified ban across all states would send a strong message about the seriousness of texting while driving, encouraging safer habits and saving lives.

    Moreover, the campaign raises awareness about this preventable cause of road accidents, urging both lawmakers and the public to prioritize safety over convenience. It’s a positive step towards reducing distracted driving incidents and making roads safer for everyone. Overall, AAA’s campaign is a vital move that deserves full support and swift implementation nationwide.

  • New Assignment Help Australia really came through for me when I was juggling multiple assignments and personal responsibilities. I had heard mixed reviews about academic help services, but I decided to give them a shot and I’m glad I did.
    I specifically needed Help With Term Papers for a business communication module, and the expert they assigned was clearly experienced. The content was original, well-referenced, and written in clear academic language.
    Even the grammar and formatting were spot on, which is often where many services fall short. As someone who also works in academic writing, I was pleasantly surprised by the professional tone and structure of the paper.
    They delivered the assignment on time and offered a free revision when I asked for a few changes. I would highly recommend them to anyone who’s overwhelmed with deadlines or just looking for quality writing support. Great job and thanks again!

  • Curious about where does avelo fly? This budget airline is establishing its place in the market by offering flights to destinations that are highly attractive but have lower costs. Avelo Airlines provides nonstop flights to more than 40 destinations across the U.S., from California to the East Coast. It is recognized for linking smaller regional airports such as Eugene (Oregon), Bozeman (Montana), and Daytona Beach (Florida) to major travel routes.

  • It’s eye-opening to see the contrast between AAA’s stance on texting-while-driving and Better World Club’s more progressive safety policies. As someone who’s spotted drivers fumbling with their phones at stoplights all the time, I think stronger advocacy and even incentivizing hands-free tech would be a huge step in the right direction. After all, it’s our lives and our kids’ lives on the road, not just someone’s convenience. Keep championing better road safety.

  • I had no idea AAA was still playing catch-up when it comes to texting bans. Better World Club clearly takes safety more seriously, and as a daily commuter, I appreciate that stance even more now. It’s not just about telling people “don’t text”—it’s about proactively supporting safer driving habits (like hands-free advocacy) and holding big organizations accountable. I'm all for private clubs questioning industry norms. Here’s hoping AAA shifts gears soon and thanks for continuing to push the conversation forward.
