New Kansas law targets distracted drivers in construction work zones
Topeka, KS — Drivers in Kansas now face new penalties for using a handheld mobile device in active construction work zones, under a new state law. Signed by Gov. Laura Kelly (D) in April, S.B. 366 is aimed at strengthening construction worker safety and curbing distracted driving. The law, which went into effect July 1, […]The post New Kansas law targets distracted drivers in construction work zones appeared first on Safety+Health Magazine.

All of those can swing driver behavior. The company also clarified that the reported 470 prevented crashes carry a 20 percent margin of error. Read that number again, then reconsider how confidently anyone should be citing it.</p><a href="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032.png" data-type="inarticle-image-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032.webp 1065w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-400x235.webp 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-1024x602.webp 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-768x451.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px"></source><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="lazy " src="" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032.png 1065w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-400x235.png 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-1024x602.png 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-768x451.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px" alt=" Insurers Say Iowa’s Phone Ban Prevented 470 Crashes, Give Or Take 20%" width="1065" height="626" data-src="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133032-1024x602.png" data-type="inarticle-image"></picture><figcaption>Credit: CMT</figcaption></figure></a><p>Perhaps the biggest unknown is how representative the data actually is.

Preliminary state crash data involving electronic-device distraction appears consistent with an improving trend, and both Nationwide’s customer data and CMT’s broader analysis point in the same direction. But until the underlying sample size and methodology are more transparent, the study is better viewed as compelling evidence of changing driver behavior than definitive proof of the law’s overall safety impact.</p><div class="ad-placement"><div id="9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="306"></div><div id="bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="600"></div><script> var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751"); } }); </script></div><a href="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058.png" data-type="inarticle-image-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058.webp 1086w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-400x238.webp 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-1024x609.webp 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/webp/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-768x457.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px"></source><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="lazy " src="" srcset="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058.png 1086w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-400x238.png 400w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-1024x609.png 1024w, https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-768x457.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, (max-width: 1535px) 100vw, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 768px) 1000px, (max-width: 300px) 600px, (max-width: 200px) 200px" alt=" Insurers Say Iowa’s Phone Ban Prevented 470 Crashes, Give Or Take 20%" width="1086" height="646" data-src="https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Screenshot-2026-07-17-133058-1024x609.png" data-type="inarticle-image"></picture><figcaption>Credit: CMT</figcaption></figure></a></body></html></p>

Automaker figures and independently measured test weights often differ due to vehicle specifications, options, fluids, and testing procedures, but Car and Driver’s numbers are directly comparable because the same team gathered them.</p><p><strong>280 Horses Take On 420 And Win</strong></p><section class="type:slideshow"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"><img class="lazy " data-src="" width="150" height="150" alt="\" src="" data-type="inarticle-image"></section><p>As were the performance figures. The CX-90 tested by the magazine used <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/tag/mazda/">Mazda</a>’s entry-level turbocharged inline-six producing 280 hp (284 PS) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque. It reached 60 mph (97 kmh) in 6.9 seconds, a solid effort for an entry-level three-row SUV in this segment.</p><p>The Charger, meanwhile, packs a twin-turbo six-cylinder generating 420 hp (426 PS). It dispatched the same sprint in just 4.7 seconds, making it the clear winner in any real-world acceleration contest. However, the Dodge is electronically limited to 125 mph (201 kmh). The publication found the Mazda can continue accelerating to 127 mph (204 kmh), giving it a narrow victory in the top-speed stakes.</p><p><strong>A Win On Paper Only</strong></p><div class="ad-placement"><div id="9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="306"></div><div id="bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c" class="_ap_apex_ad" max-height="600"></div><script> var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c"); } else { adpushup.triggerAd("9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751"); } }); </script></div><p>Of course, that 2 mph (3 kmh) advantage is academic in the US.
