Journal Article
Distracted driving among adolescents: challenges and opportunities
2011
Overview
Cellphones can, however, result in slower reaction times to potential hazards, regardless if handheld or hands free. 5 6 Texting while driving is especially dangerous because it combines the three main types of distraction.; Recently, researchers found, during unobtrusive observations, that drivers dialling a cellphone were 2.8 times more likely to crash, 6 while a simulator study found that those engaged in texting while driving were 6 times more likely to crash than non-distracted drivers. 7 Overall, in the USA, an estimated 1006 individuals died (138 adolescents) 8 and 23 883 (4958 adolescents) were injured in MVCs involving cellphones in 2009.
