It's more than a safe bet that most people reading this are guilty of using their cell phone behind the wheel. Whether answering or making calls, checking email, or texting someone - using a cell while driving has become all too common.
The fact of the matter is using a phone while driving is wildly dangerous. Some studies have even found texting while driving to be MORE dangerous than drunk driving. National campaigns against texting while driving have risen exponentially and spurred hundreds of studies on the subject. Some statistics from these studies found:
? Virginia Tech Driving Institute found that drivers who text are 23 times more likely to have an accident
? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association 5,870 people died in text related crashes in 2008 alone, and another 515,000 were injured
? National Safety Council found 28 percent of traffic accidents are cell phone related, 200,000 because of texting
A common belief is that the majority of this cell phone use, especially texting, is being done by teenagers. WRONG. A Pew Research Center study recently revealed 41 percent of adults text in the driver's seat as opposed to 34 percent of teens. Furthermore, they found that a shocking 75 percent of adults talk on their phone while driving. Teens talk 52 percent of the time.
With the holiday travel season almost upon us, driving will only become more dangerous. The urge to text while driving will only get worse as well. Extended travel times, last minute grocery and present requests, family members asking for directions and many other needs may urge you to use your phone. DON'T.
If you absolutely must use your phone, pull over and do it safely. Driving is dangerous enough as it is. There is no need to compound it, especially during such a busy time of year. Give it your full attention.
