The popularity of mobile devices has had some unintended and even dangerous
consequences. We now know that mobile communications are linked to a significant
increase in distracted driving, resulting in injury and loss of life.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in 2012 driver
distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes – with
3,328 people killed – and crashes resulting in an injury – with 421,000
people wounded.
- Forty percent of all American teens say they have been in a
car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger, according to a Pew survey.
- The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found that text messaging creates a crash risk 23 times worse than driving while not distracted.
- Eleven percent of drivers aged 18 to 20 who were involved in
an automobile accident and survived admitted they were sending or
receiving texts when they crashed.
Distracted driving endangers life and
property and the current levels of injury and loss are unacceptable.
