Cell Phone Related Car Accidents
Los Angeles California 

With the high number of Americans that try to use their commutes as a time to multi-task, the cell phone related car accident statistics involving such things as cell phones has increased. The use of cell phones causing car accidents have been under a lot of scrutiny, but the largest study on crashes involving distracted drivers has found that rubbernecking causes more motor vehicle accidents then cell phones related car accidents.

According to research driving with the use of a cell phone can be likened to driving with a blood alcohol level of about 0.10 per cent. The chances of getting into an car accident while using a cellular phone is nearly equal to the chances of having an accident while slightly drunk. Another factor in the chance of having an accident is the topic and content of conversation. A person who is talking on the phone can become distracted by their current conversation. Thus, the risk gets even greater if the person is discussing something important or especially is in the middle of an argument.

Benefits of cell phone usage:
Cell phones also allow drivers to call ahead if they are running late, reducing the need to drive faster or more recklessly. More cell phone on the road would increase the ability for quicker emergency services response.

Teens drivers with cell phones
Talking on a cell phone while driving can turn a teen driver into a elderly driver behind the wheel, according to a recent studies. A 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, has a reaction time that of a 70-year-old driver who is not using a cell phone. Researchers found that reaction times or teens in hitting the brakes slowed to match that of elderly drivers who did not talk on cell phones, an average of about nine-tenths of a second. When not talking on cell phones, young motorists hit the brakes within an average of almost eight-tenths of a second.
