United Nations Passes Resolution on Global Road Rules
OFF THE WIRE
A few weeks back, the United Nations� General Assembly passed a resolution titled, �Improving Global Road Safety.� The rationale behind it is pretty simple � to make all roadways safer regardless of if you�re in a cage or cruising on two wheels.
What does this resolution mean for you? Not much right now, but it�s possible that legislation at a state-level could be coming your way in the not too distant future.
The resolution urges all member states to pass legislation banning all forms of distracted driving � cell phone usage, including texting while driving. There�s also wording surrounding mandatory helmet law as well as harmonization of vehicle regulation in the name of safety; however, no specific details regarding either of them are noted.
It�s interesting to see this being tackled at such a high level when state-side we can�t come to an agreement on these issues.
