Statistics• 71% of people between 18 and 49 admit they talk on
the phone or text while they drive.• 500,000 people are injured each year in accidents
involving distracted driving.• 6,000 people are killed in accidents involving distracted
driving each year.• 29 states have laws restricting texting and driving

Why is distracted driving increasing?
• Technology is becoming more advanced and more portable
• We live in a fast paced world where we like immediate gratification.
• This generation does not like to be bored!
![Page 8: Distracted Driving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146e0550346895db4185d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It’s not about where your hands are, but about where your focus is…
• It is still just as dangerous to talk on a hands free device
• There is a difference in talking on the phone and talking to a passenger in the vehicle, it has been proven less dangerous.
Drews, F., Pasupathi, M., & Strayer, D. (2008). Passenger and cell phone conversations in simulated driving. Journal of Experimental Psychology, 14(4), 392-400.

So you’re a good texter?
• It does NOT matter if– You text fast– You don’t have to look at the phone to dial or text– You consider yourself a “good” or “experienced”
driver

A Comparison of the Cell Phone Driver and
the Drunk Driver

Cell Phone Driver vs Drunk Driver
• “The relative risk [of being in a traffic accident while using a cell phone] is similar to the hazard associated with driving with a blood alcohol level at the legal limit." • 699 motor vehicle accidents. 24% of
these were using their cell phone within the 10 minutes of the accident.
![Page 13: Distracted Driving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062803/568146e0550346895db4185d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cell Phone Driver vs Drunk Driver
• Distracted Drivers:– More rear-end collisions.– Longer reaction times – Shorter following distance– Longer acceleration times
• Drunk Drivers: – neither accident rates, reaction time nor recovery of
lost speed following braking differed significantly.• Overall, drivers in the alcohol condition exhibited
a more aggressive driving style.

Proposed Solutions
• Change people’s driving behaviors• Implement and enforce stronger traffic laws• Continue to research and advance technology

In Conclusion
• Distracted driving is dangerous• People have created ways to decrease it• We need to do our part to tell others and
SAVE LIVES!

Texting Simulation ActivityWe need a VOLUNTEER!!!
•A series of pictures will be flashed on the screen and you are to try and remember as many as you can and
then recite them when your done
•The first time you will be responding to a text message that you will receive on the phone provided
