From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2012 5:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Nah, you're not responsible while behind the wheel I attended a mobile device / BYOD webinar today and some of the discussion was about mobile devices and driving. They had polls during the meeting and one of them was: "Do you believe you company should be liable for injuries while driving and using a device?" (Yes\no) And while I don't know how many attended this webinar (might have been 20, might have been 200). 66% of the respondents said YES! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? In other words when you're driving you're not 100% responsible for your portable device distracting you? Put into the worst case, if I you are using some device while driving for my company and you hit my kid, it's *my* fault you don't have the capacity to pay attention to driving? If that's the case as a business owner I reserve the right to disable forward motion of the vehicle any time you want to use said corporate device. Is there some scenario I am overlooking where it's not the drivers' primary job to be in control of their vehicle?
