while operating a motor vehicle illegal throughout the whole of the United States.&nbsp; The automaker is following the lead of Ford, who became the first automobile manufacturer to support the Safe Drivers Act of 2011.&nbsp; The bill would see the government be able to introduce a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving, except in cases of emergency, and compel states to adopt the standard.<br>\nThe legislation \u201caddresses the fact that a driver\u2019s primary responsibility is to be in control of their vehicle,\u201d according to McCarthy and also that \u201ctexting while driving clearly interferes with that responsibility\u201d.<br>\nIn a statement, Chrysler said that the company \u201chas a strong history of addressing distracted driving and we are proactively designing our vehicles and educating our customers on the importance of staying focused on the road\u201d.&nbsp; McCarthy has praised the automobile manufacturer for throwing its weight behind the legislation, while General Motors has declined to make any comment regarding the issue.<br>\nA total of nine states in the US have already banned the use of cell phones while operating a motor vehicle, with the Department of Transportation claiming that a minimum of 5400 people died in the US in 2009 due to distracted driving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chrysler
