Do you continue to see drivers texting and talking on mobile devices?
Is a shaming campaign like Twit Spotting necessary in order to get people to stop using hand-held devices while driving?
Twit Spotting
Twit Spotting is an online campaign to expose distracted drivers
Twit Spotting posts photos of people using their phones while driving.
The website encourages people to send the pictures, along with information about where the photo was taken.
According to the website, "the more of us out there documenting, the more behavior will change."
The biggest challenge to preventing distracted driving is complacent social attitudes. There is no stigma, there is no sense of shame.
We're going to have to re-position what it means whe people see you talking on the phone.
Maybe stand-up comedians should be recruited to ridicule the behaviour.
Would it change the minds of people who already think the law doesn't apply to them?
Could you think of an idea that would prevent this type of behavior?
