Facts about using cell phones while driving

DID YOU KNOW........


  • Distraction from cell phone use while driving (hand held or hands free) extends a driver's reaction as much as having a blood alcohol concentration at the legal limit of .08 percent. 
  • Drivers that use cell phones are four (4) times as likely to get into crashes serious enough to injure themselves. 
  • Driving while distracted is a factor in 25 percent of police reported crashes. 
  • And…did you know that….the number one source of driver inattention is use of a wireless device?

(All of these facts were sourced from Nationwide Auto Online: 2011)
