Hi all,

Everyone's probably already seen this story, but it's significant for California.

California's had a hands-free requirement for adult drivers and an all-out ban since July 1, 2008, and we are seeing a reduction. SafeTREC is still examining the data, but preliminary results support a slight, but significant, reduction.

Nice to see this attention.
