At a press conference this week, Kentucky state officials at the Transportation Cabinet kicked off the "Distracted Driving is Deadly Driving" campaign, which is sponsored by the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety. Officials say, with new technology advancements, it's not just talking on a cell phone that can be dangerous for motorists, but, now, people can text, e-mail and even surf the Internet from their phones, which, when used while driving, can become deadly. The campaign is part of a nationwide effort to reduce distracted driving and hopefully reduce distracted driving crashes, while educating the public on safe driving habits.
