Cell Phones on California’s Roads
A California Office of Traffic Safety report from 2016 found that 7.6% of drivers in California have allowed themselves to become distracted on the road by cell phones and other electronic devices. Additionally, in 2015, 59.6% of drivers in California reported being hit or nearly hit by other drivers who were distracted by electronic devices.
Cell phone app use such as GPS apps can contribute to instants of distraction that can lead up to serious accidents. While electronic devices by no means cause all distracted driving, they are a considerable part of the problem.
