Giannoulias Proposes Ban on Using Zoom, Other Video Conferencing Software While Driving in Illinois
, Giannoulias’ proposal, sponsored by State Rep. Marcus Evans and State Sen. Javier Cervantes, would ban the use of phones and other devices to watch or participate in video conferencing, while also prohibiting drivers from streaming videos or accessing social media sites while behind the wheel.
“We need to take steps to change the culture surrounding distracted driving, which will lead to more responsible drivers and ultimately save lives,” Giannoulias said in a statement. “Zooming takes hands, eyes and minds off the focus of driving.” Motorists would be permitted to participate in conference calls, but only if they use hands-free devices and if the video function is turned off.
