The AAA Foundation conducted two surveys in 2008 to study cell phone use while driving. The surveys found that over half of drivers admit to talking on a cell phone while driving at least occasionally, with 16-17% doing so regularly. Younger drivers aged 25-34 reported the highest rates of cell phone use while driving. Both surveys also found that around 15% of drivers admit to reading or sending text messages while driving occasionally, with 3% doing so regularly. However, most drivers incorrectly believe that using hands-free cell phones is safer than hand-held phones. The AAA Foundation aims to educate drivers on traffic safety issues through research and disseminating information.
