Abstract:The percentage of passenger vehicle drivers talking on handheld phones decreased from 2.5 percent in 2021 to 2.1 percent in 2022. The percentage of drivers speaking with visible headsets while driving remained unchanged from the previous year’s level of 0.4 percent. Drivers' visible manipulation of handheld devices decreased from 3.4 percent in 2021 to 3.1 percent in 2022. The National Occupant Protection Use Survey (NOPUS) observes three types of driver electronic device use while driving: “holding phones to their ears,” “speaking with visible headsets on,” and “visibly manipulating handheld devices.”
