A recent CDC study compared the
percentage of distracted drivers in the United States and seven European
countries: Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the
United Kingdom.
The study found that among U.S.
drivers (ages 18-64 years old), 69 percent reported that they had talked on
their cell phone while driving within the 30 days before they were surveyed,
compared to 21 percent in the United Kingdom. It also found that close to
one-third of drivers in the United States reported that they had read or sent
text messages or emails while driving compared to just 15 percent of drivers
from Spain.
Protect yourself, and others on the
road, by committing to distraction-free driving.
