There will be no more cell phones for commercial truckers hitting the roads. A new federal ban on cell phones goes into effect January 3, 2012.

The cell phone ban for commercial truckers was announced back on November 23rd and it prohibits commercial truckers and bus drivers from using hand held cell phones while driving.

The ban will affect some 4 million drivers nationwide. Leading experts believe the new law will be a win for drivers and their employees reducing the number of distracted driver accidents and ultimately lowering insurance cost for commercial trucking and bus companies. Opponents of the new law say it will be difficult for employers and police to enforce the cell phone ban. They also believe it will have little to no effect on distraction related accident rates long term.
