The AAA Foundation conducted two surveys 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 14-17% of drivers admit to reading or sending text messages while driving occasionally, and 3% do so regularly, with young drivers ages 18-24 being most likely to text and drive. However, most drivers believe that using hands-free phones is safer despite studies showing no safety difference between hands-free and hand-held phone use.
