As I’ve mentioned before, driving while talking on a cell phone is BAD! Once again, it has been proven.
A University of Utah study confirms that driving while talking on a cell phone slows reflexes and leads to other detrimental driving habits.
Cell phone distraction causes 2,600 deaths and 330,000 injuries in the United States every year…
If you put a 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, their reaction times are the same as a 70-year-old driver who is not using a cell phone.
So not only does cell phone use lead to more accidents, the slowed driving style means slower traffic flow and increased traffic congestion.
So STOP IT!
