Thumbnail image for 1038828_u_s__supreme_court_2.jpgU.S. District Court Judge Joseph H. McKinley, Jr. ruled this week that an antitrust lawsuit against Insight Communications can proceed. The case was filed by two Insight subscribers asking the court to bar insight from making customers pay $15.95 per month to rent an Insight converter box if the customer wanted services such as pay-per-view. The lawsuit alleges that subscribers should be allowed to purchase their own converter boxes from an electronics manufacturer and use such for the insight programming.

Insight Cable Company had asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit claiming that it was not forcing the subscribers to do anything. Additionally, Insight sought to have the lawsuit stayed and held in abeyance until the Federal Communications Commission releases an expected ruling on the converter box issue.

The court, in its ruling, sided with the plaintiffs and has allowed the case to continue.

Trinity High School students in Louisville, Kentucky were given the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a car simulator which simulates how difficult it is to drive after consuming alcohol. The simulation was part of a school-wide effort to educate students on the dangers of drinking and driving. These students also went through a seminar on accident statistics and videos of actual accidents. The Company that does the simulation also has simulations of the problems that come with texting and driving, drug use and driving, and cell phone use while driving. The goal of the simulation program is to impress upon young drivers the severity of poor driving decisions.

Everyday in Kentucky, people are killed and injured in accidents that are related to driver negligence, which includes driving under the influence of alcohol. Programs like this one will hopefully cause young people to be more careful when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. It gives them a chance to experience the problems before they actually happen, which can alter poor decision making.

Thumbnail image for 1307593_mobile_phone_in_hand.jpgA New Consumer Reports poll shows 63% of drivers under the age of 30 are using cell phones while driving. 30% of those surveyed also admitted to texting while driving. Kentucky law prohibits texting while driving, but cell phone use is still legal while driving. While cell phone use while driving in Kentucky is not a criminal offense, it still can cause accidents due to the driver’s attention being diverted from the road. Use of a cell phone while driving could be used against drivers who are involved in accidents as legal arguments arise that such activity may have caused the negligent driving or contributed to the accident. More and more accident litigation is focusing on the use of cell phones, including subpoenaing cell phone records to check usage at the time of the accidents.
