The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) hold a one-day forum titled, Attentive Driving: Countermeasures for Distraction, on March 27, 2012 in Washington, DC.
"In generations past the norm was an attentive driver with occasional distractions, but today distractions are competing full-time for the driver's attention," said Chairman Hersman. "Our forum will identify how distractions affect behavior behind the wheel and focus on measures that promote attentive driving."
