Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Transportation Safety
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Cell phone use and texting are widespread, impacting the driving population.
  • Distracted driving, including cell phone use, is a significant concern due to increased crash risks.
  • Adolescent drivers exhibit high rates of texting while driving, elevating their crash risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing evidence on distracted driving and cell phone use.
  • To assess the relationship between driver distraction and automobile accidents.
  • To evaluate the impact of driver experience on crash risk.

Main Methods:

  • A PubMed search was conducted for articles on distracted driving and cell phone use between 2000 and 2013.
  • The search was performed by the Injury Control Violence Prevention Committee of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma.
  • Nineteen articles were selected for inclusion in the evidence-based review.

Main Results:

  • Evidence confirms a link between distracted driving and increased crashes.
  • Cell phone use while driving is a contributing factor to automobile accidents.
  • Driver inexperience is associated with a higher risk of automobile accidents.

Conclusions:

  • All drivers must minimize in-vehicle distractions, including texting and social media use.
  • Younger, inexperienced drivers are at a particularly elevated risk and should abstain from all cell phone use.
  • Implementing stricter guidelines for cell phone use while driving can reduce accidents and injuries.
