• Abstract:
  In the first nationally representative telephone survey on distracted driving, NHTSA reported attitudes and behaviors of 6,000 drivers 18 and older from all 50 States and the District of Columbia about distracted driving. This research note extracts information from the December 2011 survey about cell phone use and distracted driving for young drivers. A person was considered a driver if he or she had driven in the past year. The survey used a random-digit-dialing procedure to select one eligible driver within each eligible household and oversampled people 18 to 34 on both landlines and cell phones. The full report contains a description of the survey methodology.
