Warning all drivers: cell phone crackdown happening in San Diego County
AppId is over the quota
For your own safety, cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle is illegal in the state of California. This includes calling, dialing, or texting using a cell phone device.
Why? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 80 percent of car accidents involve at some form of driver distraction within three seconds of the car crash, and talking on a cell phone is one of the prime distractions leading to car accidents today.
Did you know that dialing a phone number on a cell phone while driving increases your risk of a car accident or near car accident 2.8 times?
That’s why it’s no surprise that authorities in the San Diego County area are cracking down on cell phone use while driving. This month, police in San Diego unrolled their zero-tolerance campaign against using cell phones while driving, according to CBS News.
But it seems that San Diegans just can’t put down the cell phone when driving. Call it a bad habit or just plain irresponsible, but cell phone use while driving is no light matter. On Dec. 10, some 456 people were ticketed for illegally using a cell phone while driving within San Diego County.
If you need further proof that cell phone use while driving is dangerous, consider a study conducted by The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society which suggested distracted drivers who use cell phones are just as dangerous on the road as those driving under the influence, according to CNET News.
The study set up four different driving scenes. Forty drivers were evenly allocated into the following four driving conditions: no distractions, using a handheld cell phone, talking on a hands-free device, and driving while intoxicated to the California legal limit of .08 percent blood alcohol level. The participants followed a pace car in each unique condition. The pace vehicle simulated real-life conditions like stop-and-go traffic and intermittent braking.
At the end of the simulation, researchers found that drivers using mobile devices while driving drove slower, braked slower, and were more likely to have a distracted driving car accident than other drivers in other simulations. In fact, not even one of the drunk drivers crashed, but three participants using cell phones were involved in a car accident.
San Diego, please put down the cell phones – it’s never been more important to stay safe on the roads and avoid car accidents and personal injury. You can do your part by not using your cell phone while driving.

Did Patient Die Because Doctor Hung Up Phone?
AppId is over the quota
Posted on Jun 10, 2008
The Supreme Court of Virginia has ordered a new trial for the estate of a woman who died from a pulmonary embolism after information about her life threatening condition was not acted upon by her physicians.
In May 2005 Tawanda Williams was referred to a local radiologist for a sonogram of her calf after she reported calf pain to her doctors at Kaiser Permanente. The radiologist, Vienna physician Cong Le, interpreted the study and concluded that Williams suffered from deep vein thrombosis, a potentially life-threatening condition involving blood clots in her leg. While dangerous, deep vein thrombosis is very amenable to treatment.
According the Supreme Court’s opinion, released June 6, 2008, Le reached an operator at Kaiser and, after identifying himself and asking to speak to Dr. McClain, he was put on hold so long that he “lost confidence to get in touch with [Dr. McClain] at that moment.” He stated that he was unable to leave a voicemail or talk to a human being. Dr. Le testified that previously he had problems communicating with the doctors at Kaiser by telephone. Dr. Le hung up and faxed a report to Dr. McClain.
The information that Tawanda Williams had life threatening blood clots was not acted upon by her doctor and she died six days later.
The Virginia Supreme Court said that “the evidence proved without contradiction that the communication problems in this case were begun and put in motion by Dr. Le’s failure to make direct contact with Dr. McClain, a member of his team, or Williams.” Reversing the trial court’s decision to allow the jury to determine that Dr. Le’s negligence was “cut-off” by Dr. McClain’s failure to read the report that had been faxed to him, the Supreme Court ordered a new trial.
Benjamin W. Glass, III, one of the attorneys who represented the estate said that this case “presents a patient’s worst nightmare—a test is done which shows a condition that is life-threatening but very treatable—but none of the doctors act on the request. Dr. Le should have called back and told the Kaiser operator that he had an emergency on his hands and he should also have called Tawanda Williams and told her to get to an emergency department. He had a time-bomb on his hands yet he failed to communicate the urgency of the situation to the Kaiser operator.”
Glass and his co-counsel, Frank Kearney of Washington, D.C. expect that a new trial will be held in the Spring of 2009. The Supreme Court's opinion is here.

Pedestrian Hit by Police Officer Speeding Sues Huntington Beach—Claims He was on Cell Phone
AppId is over the quota
September 23, 2011 - A woman has filed a lawsuit charging that a police officer hit her, while speeding and talking on a cell phone in Huntington Beach, during a car crash.
The woman identified as 47 year old Catherine Sanchez filed a lawsuit Monday in Huntington Beach stemming from a May 30th incident. Sanchez claims she was crossing Main Street when she was hit by an officer that was speeding and talking on a cell phone.
According to attorney Dyke Huish, who represents Sanchez, she would have been injured much worse if her son had not pulled her out of the way, but suffered bruising and pain to her back when she was struck by the police car on the left side of her body. Sanchez has claimed emotional distress due to the incident.
Attorney Huish stated that the officer stopped only long enough to yell at Sanchez to get out of the way and left. The Huntington Beach Police Department is denying the incident took place, while Huish has stated he does not believe police officers should be using cell phones and should not be permitted to leave the scene.
According to Huntington Police Department Chief Ken Small a police report was not taken, since the officer did not leave the scene and the woman was not struck by the vehicle. Small has stated that Sanchez did not say she was hit by the police vehicle and witnesses have also stated she was not struck by the car and because of this a report was not taken.
The Huntington Beach personal injury attorney at Ehline Law Firm PC finds the story believable. Michael Ehline, Esq., has seen several Santa Monica patrolmen on their cell phones while driving. It is another example of the servant becoming the master. If you know of a corrupt cop violating the civil rights of taxpayers, contact us at 600 Anton Boulevard 11th Fl.

Is a good idea in Georgia compulsory mobile phone turn off technology in new cars?
People who speak or SMS on a mobile phone while driving lead 28 percent of all motor vehicle crashes according to the National Safety Council. This disturbing activity can be 8 to 23 times increased the risk of a crash. In 2009, more than 5,500 people were killed and 500,000 wounded distracted driver who owned. It is simply clear that talking on a cell phone while driving is not safe, and it is a distraction that takes life.
Distracted driving has become such an important problem, that federal officials are now talking about creating technology that will disable the use of mobile phones in cars. About two-thirds of the American show, that they are cell phone use in favour of national ban while driving, but whether they support Government-issued cell phone scramblers or other disabling devices remains to be seen.
Some arguments, which is in opposition to mobile phone scramblers are included:
Passengers in the car can not their Handys.Handys could be used even in emergencies.Pedestrians on the side of the road won't be able to use their mobile phones because the signal of their mobile phone reception as cars would encrypt drive by.This device in cars will make more expensive.People will keep longer on cars.The program creates additional costs including government inspections of these devices controlled.While these are interesting arguments, they are all focus only on how these devices driver can inconvenience. The question is whether the public reduction against these problems of the personal comfort is prepared balance vehicle safety and accident. While many people the risk of cell phone use in vehicles an abstract something confirm, they can be not as receptive for binding legislation that disabled phones in vehicles.
Drivers can crawl current mobile phone technology, clear. Some argue that driver just such security measures be disabled unless there is a change in the attitude. However stricter drunk driving penalties and active enforcement effective in reducing the number of drunk-driving accidents, was it more appropriate is to assume that drivers may not to flaunt the law make and disable mobile phone technology creep. However, many people feel quite a bit more about drunken driver for distracted drivers.
