If drivers are allowed to use their phones sometimes, enforcing specific types of phone use becomes nearly impossible. So, to recap, strong texting bans do reduce the type of accidents likely to be caused by distracted driving, but this public safety improvement diminishes quickly in the face of poor enforcement. Several clear policy implications emerge here.
The NHTSA states that 80% of accidents and 16% of highway deaths are the result of distracted drivers. The National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that 1.6 million (25%) of crashes annually are due to cell phone use, and another 1 million (18%) traffic accidents are due to text messaging while driving.
