Abstract:This study explored several dimensions of the growing trend of talking on a cell phone while driving. It did so by (1) reviewing the recent research epidemiological studies; case analyses of cell phone-related crashes; and driver performance studies; (2) reporting on recent legislative activity regarding the use of cell phones while driving; (3) analyzing data from an observational study of the "who, what, when, where and how many" of cell phone use while driving in North Carolina; (4) pilot-testing the use of a supplemental data form by the N.C. Highway Patrol to report additional information on crashes where a cell phone was involved; and (5) analyzing police narratives for crashes where the use of a cell phone by the driver was indicated by the investigating officer.
