New study finds that despite widespread public health warnings about distracted driving, the majority of parents are still using their phones on the road, with one group in particular facing the most risk: millennials.
Cellphone use while driving is a major contributor to motor vehicle accidents across the United States, yet a new study finds that despite widespread public health warnings about distracted driving, the majority of parents are still using their phones on the road, with one group in particular facing the most risk: millennials.
This compulsion to use our cellphones while driving comes from the modern-day need to “always be reachable,” the study’s lead author Dr. Regan Bergmark, of the Center for Surgery and Public Health at Brigham and Women's Hospital, told ABC News. About 16% of millennial parents had been in at least one crash in the year prior to taking the survey compared to 10% of older parents, but this difference was not significant, the study said.
