WisDOT challenges Wisconsin to put safety first by taking the two most important actions to prevent or survive a crash. Accept the Buckle Up Phone Down challenge.
-
Use your seat belt every trip and put down the phone when driving.
-
Take the Buckle Up Phone Down pledge.
-
Share your commitment by taking a “thumbs up/thumbs down” photo. Post it to social media using the hashtag #BuckleUpPhoneDown.
In my country not doing both of those in a moving vehicle gets you fined and/or your license suspended.
Welcome to the 20th century I suppose, America. You’ll make it to actual modern times eventually!
The US absolutely has seatbelt laws, and only two states don’t have cellphone use laws.
Problem is that that they’re rarely enforced.
I think the problem is the lack of a way to prove someone was on their phone. It’s such a hassle that cops stopped pulling people over for it because it led nowhere.
As far as I know doing either of those things is against the law in the US aswell.
