Get Off The Phone And Drive

Despite the first show, management has decided to keep the "Dave and Dave Show" on the air for another day.  On Tuesday, we talked about the new nationwide texting ban for commercial trucks and busses, the current laws regarding texting in Minnesota and the proposed ban on texting in Wisconsin.  Department of Transportation statistics show 16 percent of all highway fatalities were the result of distracted driving.  We also looked at the Duluth City Council's approval of a 15 foot no smoking zone around DTA bus shelters and a special use permit for Minnesota Power to build a new substation.  Later this week, "Dave and Dave" will get you updated on the upcoming John Beargrease Sled Dog Marathon and talk to race officials and mushers about the event.  Hope you'll be listening Monday through Friday from 9 to 10 a-m on KDAL 610.
