I believe its aimed at federal employees because they believe that because they hold government jobs that they are allow to do what most can't like texting while driving. Its a good law that they made because its make the roads safer from government snobs and promotes safety all over for everyone. Students can use this as an example to be safe and drive without texting. For example "My cousin works on capital hill and she doesn't text while driving".

This article starts with the main idea of the whole article. it says straight out what you are going to be reading about in the article. when they used quotes they came across as if if the person was just talking to you and telling you what someone said. it goes in the article naturally. towards the middle of the article the writer starts to narrow down and talk about specific times people used cellphones, and research against cellphones.
