Beginning April 1, Haddon Heights Police will have patrols out targeting drivers who engage in dangerous distracted driving behaviors such as talking on hand-held cell phones and sending text messages while driving. “UDrive. UText. UPay” Thousands of people are killed each year and an estimated half-million or so injured each year in distracted driver-related crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Using a hand-held cell phone to talk or text while driving is illegal in New Jersey. Nearly three-quarters of those who responded to a 2013 FDU PublicMind Poll survey for the state Division of Highway Traffic Safety said they very often see people driving and talking, while 40% said they very often see drivers texting.
