According to recent Pew Research Institute reports, U.S. cell phone owners between the ages of 18-24 send an average 110 text messages every day, more than double the next highest range. And 34 percent of teenagers ages 16-17 who own a cell phone have used it to text while driving a car.
Odds are, if teenagers and young adults are sending and receiving more than 3,000 texts every month, at least some of those exchanges are happening while driving.
"The ability for the human brain to multitask is kind of a myth," said David Teater, senior director with the National Safety Council. "Are you able to watch your favorite television show while you talk to someone on the phone and fully comprehend both? The answer is no."
"We don't believe hands-free technology helps alleviate the problem of distracted driving," Mosher said. "And it in fact may give people a false sense of safety."
