The 2009 Traffic Safety Culture Index Survey was conducted by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety to investigate the public's traffic safety knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and experiences. The survey was a random telephone sample of over 2,500 U.S. residents ages 16 and up. Key findings included that the majority of drivers do not feel safer than 5 years ago, with distracted driving such as cell phone use being a major reason. The survey also found high percentages of drivers admitting to cell phone use and texting while driving despite viewing them as serious threats.
