In March 2019, The Zebra conducted a survey of the driving behaviors and attitudes of 2,000 Americans.37% of respondents aged 18 to 34 said they felt a high degree of pressure to respond to work-related messages while driving, compared to 25% of the national average among all age groups.Parents with young children were more likely to be distracted while driving (87%) than were adults with no small children (74%).One in three female drivers admitted to taking photos while driving.Our study also uncovered variations in distracted driving behavior based on the operating system of the cell phone the driver used.16% of iPhone users said they never get distracted while driving (vs. 23% of Android users and 38% of users of other mobile operating systems).iPhone and Apple Carplay users are more than twice as likely than Android users to video-chat, use Instagram, stream shows on Netflix or Hulu, and take photos and videos while driving.10% of iPhone users admitted watching videos on YouTube while driving, while 4% of Android users admitted to doing the same.The following data comes from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the National Safety Council & internal reporting from The Zebra.The phrases “driving while texting” and “driving while distracted” may seem interchangeable, but “distracted driving” encompasses much more than checking your cell phone at a stoplight.
Consider using next April to learn more about this epidemic that's threatening safe driving habits.
The sample consisted of no less than 1,000 completed responses per question. 0: Not Distracted: This attribute indicates that the driver was attentive to the driving task in the officer’s assessment. Distracted driving is defined as any non-driving activity that a driver engages in while behind the wheel. Distractions are shown to compromise the safety of the driver, passengers, pedestrians, and people in other vehicles. And, with some state laws focusing on handheld bans, many drivers honestly believe they are making the safe choice by using a hands-free device. In an effort to reach drivers more creatively about the dangers of distracted driving, TxDOT has launched a new web-based augmented reality (AR) game that reinforces the importance of paying attention behind the wheel and reminds drivers to keep their heads up.
53.7% of Android users in this survey completely agree texting and driving is equally dangerous as drinking and driving, while only 51.5% of iPhone users feel the same way. This includes taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel. Distracted driving occurs when a driver has his or her mind or attention on anything other than the road. 8.9% of respondents aged 25 to 34 said they felt a high degree of pressure to respond to a text message as soon as it came in, and 7.3% of that same age group also felt a high degree of pressure to respond to work-related messages/emails while driving.Of those respondents who completely agree that texting and driving is equally as dangerous as drinking and driving, 39.9% said they have engaged with drinking alcohol while driving.Following up from a survey conducted in 2019 by The Zebra, we analyzed the driving patterns of individuals categorized by their mobile device's operating system.
Other NHTSA data states that roughly, nine people are killed and more than 1,000 injured daily in accidents in which at least one driver was distracted. These projects increased police enforcement of distracted driving laws and increased awareness of distracted driving using radio advertisements, news stories, and similar media.
