The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently released survey results showing that Americans continue to use electronic devices while driving, despite warnings that it causes their own driving to deteriorate and can lead to crashes, injuries, and even death. NHTSA released the data in April 2013 at the start of National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. The data include statistics from the 2012 National Survey on Distracted Driving Attitudes and Behaviors (DOT HS 811 729), the 2011 National Occupant Protection Use Survey on Driver Electronics Use, and the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

The 2011 National Occupant Protection Use Survey shows that at any given daylight moment across the United States, approximately 660,000 drivers are using cell phones or electronic devices while driving, a number that has held steady since 2010. Separate NHTSA data indicate that more than 3,300 people were killed in 2011 and more than 387,000 were injured in crashes involving a distracted driver. 2ff7e9595c
