Half of U.S. drivers say they often use cellphones behind the wheel

According to a recent survey conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 49% of U.S. drivers admitted to using their cellphones while driving. This is a dangerous habit that can lead to distracted driving and increase the risk of accidents on the road.

The survey also found that drivers who use their cellphones while driving are more likely to engage in other risky behaviors, such as speeding, running red lights, and not wearing a seatbelt. This puts not only themselves but also other drivers and pedestrians at risk.

It is important for drivers to understand the dangers of distracted driving and to make a conscious effort to avoid using their cellphones while behind the wheel. This can be done by turning off the phone or putting it on silent mode, using hands-free devices, or simply pulling over to a safe location to make a call or send a text.

Many states have laws in place that prohibit the use of cellphones while driving, and violators can face fines and other penalties. However, it is ultimately up to each individual driver to take responsibility for their actions and make the roads safer for everyone.

Remember, no text or call is worth risking your life or the lives of others on the road. Put the phone down and focus on driving.
