Some of the findings included:
- About three-quarters (73%) of adults who drive and have a cell phone (78% of all adults drive and have a cell phone) say that they talk on their cell phone while driving.
- Younger adults are more likely than their older counterparts to drive while talking on a cell phone. Almost nine in 10 (86%) Echo Boomers (those ages 18 to 29) say that they talk on their cell phone while driving, as compared to about half (48%) of Matures (those ages 61 and over).
- Over half (56%) of adults say it is at least dangerous, with 31 percent saying it is very dangerous for someone to use a cell phone while driving. Another 26 percent say that using a cell phone while driving is somewhat dangerous, and only 18 percent say either slightly dangerous or not dangerous at all.
I have been behind people who are talking on their cell phone and had to deal with some bad driving but nothing too severe.
Do you use your cell phone while driving?
Have you had any negative experiences with others talking on their cell phones while driving?
