Drivers Are Aware Of Distracted Driving And Do It Anyway

Distracted driving is a top cause of traffic fatalities in the United States and while its nearly always avoidable, it is only getting worse.

State Farm recently released the results of a new road safety survey which revealed some troubling trends.

The distracted driving rates are getting higher throughout the country, but what is disturbing is that motorists are well aware of the fact that their behaviors are putting them in danger, and yet it’s not stopping them from doing it anyway.

To stay safe, a motorist must keep focused and engaged, but that is not what they are choosing to do.

The research conducted by State Farm was completed in March and indicates that motorists are choosing to allow distractions even when they’re completely aware of how dangerous they are behind the wheel. In fact, the survey results showed that a full half of all motorists admit to dangerous behaviors.
