Texting while driving more dangerous than driving while drunk

In summary: The risk of an accident exists every time you get into your car, no matter how safe you think you are. The police are pretty good at hiding in your blind spot so they can watch what you're doing. Texting while driving is three times worse than driving drunk, so it's definitely something you should be concerned about. If you're caught texting while driving, you could face a license revocation.

Researchers at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute found texting was a huge (although believable) 23 times more dangerous than non-distracted driving.

According to the authors, that makes texting even more dangerous than driving at the legal drunk driving limit, which increases your risk of an accident by about seven times...

What does that mean?
How dangerous is non-distracted driving?
 
  • #4
It obviously means you're 23 times more likely to be involved in a accident while texting than you would if you drive with no distractions. What did you think it meant?

I've never had an accident. 23 times nothing is not going to scare me.

The chance of an accident exists every time you get into your car whether you have had an accident or not. The risk is 23 times greater if you text while driving.

What's more, it affects not only you but everyone on the road around you. If you see someone texting while driving, you should report them to the police as you should a drunk driver. Likewise, if you are texting while driving [as the States pass laws against this] hopefully someone will report you as a danger to the public.

This is so serious that I can see people going to jail for it just like repeat offenders do for drunk driving.

Driving while talking on the phone is bad enough, but people who text while driving should have their licenses revoked.
If you see something texting while driving, you should report them to the police as you should a drunk driver.
Though I wonder how seriously they'll take it.
And even if a cop near you does come pull them over, unless the cop sees it, they could put their phone up and say you're lying.

Congress just said that they will revoke the Federal Highway funds for States that don't ban this practice. I suspect that soon the police will be taking this VERY seriously. Three times worse than driving drunk will get everyone's attention. Plus, the cops have to deal with the blood and guts of those who don't listen, so for them, issues like this become very personal.

The police are pretty good at hiding in your blind spot so they can watch what you're doing. If someone is texting, that person is even less likely to notice that they are being watched.

Do you really need a new law for this?
There are already laws against dangerous driving, or driving without due care.

These specific laws are just designed to get simple automatic convictions and like speed cameras are seen as just a way of raising money rather than preventing accidents.

The UK banned talking on a hand held 'cellular telephone' (specifically not to ban CBs, taxi radios and police radios) leaving aside research that suggests hands free is just as bad, it didn't ban texting. Because the law takes so long to go through the process that texting wasn't mainstream at the time.
So it goes back through the process to include texting, but then the new law doesn't include email or IM.
Then some clever lawyer got off on the basis that a VOIP (skype) call on a 3G smart phone isn't a 'cellular telephone call'.

But you could have prosecuted any of them for 'driving without due care and attention'

I see your point, but a specific law makes it clear that the activity is dangerous. And as you said, if not texting specifically, a person could still be stopped for driving while distracted. It's not like the seatbelt law [which I oppose] in which the government is removing the right of choice based on arguments that can't be justified.

The UK ban was based on a study that correlated phone calls with accidents.
Unfortunately the timing was only accurate to 15mins, so they couldn't say wether the call came before or after the crash.
They didn't log the call destination so don't know if someone was calling the emergency services.

Luckily the study wasn't extended to banning fire trucks which are linked to the majority of house fires.

I feel going the other direction is a better idea. If police start taking people in for reckless driving, which is already on the books (and everyone knows that's a serious offense), I think people would start seeing it as for what it really is, reckless driving. I think the problem is that texting feels so... childish and personal. I think some people might see it as if the government asked to make singing in the car illegal. I don't feel like making it specifically banned is going to emphasize it's danger, instead it'll be seen as an invasion of privacy and an arbitrary draconian law.

If I got taken in for reckless driving, it'd be a much bigger hit mentally then if I got a ticket for "texting". Personally, for example the speeding ticket i got recently, if I got a ticket or taken in for reckless driving even though I knew i was simply speeding, I'd be far more compelled to drive safer in the future.

How long have you been driving? Odds are a person will have a handful of accidents in their life (there are 6 million reported a year and the population is 300 million)*, with the range being from small fender benders to something fairly bad. Imagine instead of your one fairly bad accident, you instead had 23? I'm 33 and I have totalled one car (I was in high school), put $1000 in damage on another and had one where I gave the guy I rear-ended $100 to pay for some bumper paint and his trouble. That's not an unusual driving history.

Or, put another way, your lifetime odds of dying in a car accident are about 10%. If I remember my stats correctly, if you always text while driving, that would make your lifetime odds of dying in a car accident about 94%.

*If the average lifespan is 75 and the average car accident involves 3 people, the average person will be involved in 4.5 accidents in their lifetime. So do you really want to add any sort of multiplier to that?

...something else to consider: if you texting increases your risk by 23x, what happens to the odds if you and the people around you are texting...?

That's generally my perception of this. Yes, the "current" problem is texting and driving, and certainly I agree it's a problem...anything that requires taking your eyes off the road and hands off the steering wheel is an obvious distraction from driving...but I think that laws against texting and driving fail to address the more pervasive problem that people simply don't take driving very seriously and continue to find any number of ways to distract themselves, whether it be fishing around in their bag of fast food for one last french fry, texting, applying make-up or shaving in the rear-view mirror, watching videos, fiddling about trying to program their GPS gizmo, etc.

I very much agree that the problem is a failure to enforce the most basic driving laws.

And, yes, I also agree with Borg's point, that those who engage in these practices always insist they are the exceptions. This is just a general problem with human behavior, isn't it? Too many people have no perception that they cannot do other tasks while driving and still be a decent driver. They think they can "multi task," which may be true, but the problem is that driving already requires multi tasking, and adding more things to that overloads their brains. My boyfriend teases me when I tell him I KNOW I cannot talk on the phone and drive well and hang up on him if he calls me when I'm in the car (or ignore the phone if I'm around other vehicles...I live in an area where I can often be driving with nobody else on the road, which gives me a few moments to answer a phone and tell him to call back in 10 minutes when I'm home). I've explained to him that the only time I'll talk on the phone while driving is when I'm truly stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, because then the natural tendency to drive too slow helps keep me calm and there's not much need to pay attention, because I'm just sitting on the brake. He isn't very pleased when I also explain to him that in spite of his own notions, he CANNOT drive while talking on the phone and also insist on hanging up on him when I become aware he's calling me from the car. I absolutely HATE it when he does that. It leaves me feeling like the rare exception to be aware that I cannot pay attention to my driving and talking on the phone at the same time, so simply refuse to do so (not to mention I start running out of hands to hold the phone, the steering wheel, operate turn signals or windshield wipers, perhaps need to open or close a window, etc...I drive on very curvy roads, and if I drive at the speeds I like to drive, that requires both hands to control the car all by itself, and be prepared to swerve should deer run out in front of me, which I won't notice if I'm gabbing on the phone).

I don't understand how we get to invasion of privacy? We don't have the right to drink a beer while driving either [well, unless you are in Texas]. The fact is that we already have laws against driving while distracted, but it doesn't stop people from texting - including bus and train drivers! The problem is that the threat exists for all of us non-texters on the road even if the person isn't visibly driving recklessly.

If I got taken in for reckless driving, it'd be a much bigger hit mentally then if I got a ticket for "texting". Personally, for example the speeding ticket i got recently, if I got a ticket or taken in for reckless driving even though I knew i was simply speeding, I'd be far more compelled to drive safer in the future.

How about a $1000 fine and loss of your license for 30 days on a first offense? Would that have the desired mental impact? How about a $5000 fine and thirty days in jail for the second offense. The penalty should be at least as severe as for driving while drunk.

Another matter is the degree of distraction. Eating while driving is a distraction and may warrant a driving while distracted charge, but the degree of distraction is certainly less than that found while texting. The two situations are not comparable. It turns out that texting on the road make you an extreme threat to public safety.

Indeed, just living in a university town where everyone around me is babbling on their phones while driving seems to increase my risk. I haven't been in an accident yet, but I've sure had plenty of close calls with dingbats crossing the yellow line or cutting out in front of me while talking on the phone or texting as they pay no attention to anyone around them. The only reason those dingbats weren't in an accident is that I WASN'T on the phone and saw them in time to slam on the brakes or swerve. Not to mention when they disrupt traffic flow on the roads by driving a persistent 10 mph under the speed limit while everyone else is trying to pass them as they keep drifting over the lines of their lane. I certainly agree they are as bad or worse than drunk drivers. At least I usually only encounter drunk drivers around 2 AM when there aren't a lot of people on the roads. The driving while texting or driving while talking on the cell phone people are on the roads during rush hour.

I think that's how most people see it, I don't think they see it as a safety issue. In my experience, with seatbelts for example, most people basically see it as a safety issue. I don't think this exists in the public mindset about texting. People still see texting as just some innocent thing you do and it's the big bad government trying to tell you what you can and can't do... especially considering how people immediately seem to go to this "well I am the exception" BS. Now mind you, I'm not saying it isn't a safety issue. I'm proposing how the public views it and how we can get them to change their minds seeing as all these studies don't seem to do the job.

Are you saying that should be the penalty for texting or for speeding? I think changing the mindset of drivers is less about the penalty than the connotation of the infraction. Personally, I don't think anyones ever thinking about the idea of a $200+ bill associated with speeding and such when they do it.

Then again maybe I'm not in touch with the typical drivers mindset. Hell, the only reason I don't speed anymore is the pain in the behind associated with having ot go downtown and finding parking to go to the courthouse to pay the ticket.

The problem is that the laws are not enforced. When's the last time you've seen someone get pulled over when driving while texting when they are clearly also driving erratically and recklessly? I've never seen it. There seems to be some unwritten interpretation that it's only reckless driving if you're speeding down the interstate, weaving through traffic into the oncoming lane, etc., and not when someone is drifting lanes on local roads, driving 10-15 mph UNDER the limit, etc. If a cop can spot someone texting while driving, there really is no reason they shouldn't be pulling them over for reckless driving now...so why aren't they? I think that's Pengwuino's point, and certainly is the way I see it.

I'm not sure about the violation of privacy bit, but I think it's more likely to meet the sort of resistance that seatbelt laws have met. Whenever you pick on one particular activity, and not the consequence of it, which is driving badly, people tend to go into denial...they have an instant scapegoat that it's just the texting, and not that they were indeed driving recklessly.

I find myself agreeing with Pengwuino that there's really no reason to pick out specific forms of distraction, but to make the penalties based on a person's actual driving behavior. It's too easy for someone to say, "Oh, sure they saw me with my phone in my hand, but I really am just fine driving while texting, they just have to give me a ticket anyway." In contrast, if they got a reckless driving ticket, they can't as easily deny that it didn't really matter what it was they were doing at the time that caused the distraction, they were being lousy drivers when caught. I don't really care if someone is reading a text message or the daily newspaper, it's all the same end result of recklessly driving.

I had a close call when some sucker with a phone pressed against his ear tried to cut into my lane.

My brother had a bad accident because a drunk and stoned driver couldn't stop his car. If the cell phone texting accident rate is 23x more that has me worried for the people involved and innocent people being injured.

If there is a law requiring every driver register a cell phone, I'm all for it.

I'm proposing a system where your name or license plate is linked with your cell phone carrier such that a cop can pull up your recent activity when pulls you over.

I just wanted a baseline number. More dangerous than ..what?
Thanks russ_watters for the attempt at answering that question.

37 years driving, the last five include a large schoolbus.
My excuse for not having an accident is that I pay attention.

I have had my car do some things I did not want it to, such as a few 360's on black ice one day. I was going slow enough and left enough distance that I regained control and didn't really even leave my lane.

So is texting more dangerous than say, falling asleep at the wheel? Driving while angry?

This was done in the case of the California woman that was paying bills with her cell phone while driving at high speed on a highway! There was an accident and people were stopped and she was completely unaware and slammed into a line of cars. The woman she plowed into was burned to death. The bill paying bimbo was unharmed.

Laws like this can be rather annoying. I guess that they can actually help reduce the incidence of the problem but I rarely see officers pulling over people who are the real problem. I drive on the freeways around here and have to dodge crazy nitwits driving like no one else in the world existed on nearly a daily basis. But then I never see cops pulling these idiots over. Mean while they are busy ticketing someone who was taking a quick call while sitting at a red light or they're sitting in one of their cozy little traps on a side street where they can get some shade waiting for someone to come by and do something wrong. Even then they don't always get the dangerous people. There's a stop sign at a sharp bend right next to my work but only going one way. I'm not even quite sure why it is there. People roll through it all the time and its not really any big deal. The real problem on that corner is that people going the other way cut the corner constantly driving right into the area where a car would be stopped for the stop sign. The cops set a trap there and wait and ticket about a dozen people each time for running that stop sign but they'll sit there watching people speeding through cutting the corner from the other direction all day long without doing anything about it.

I've sincerely come to be of the opinion that they just want to give out tickets and will find the quickest easiest way to get a clear cut violation. These laws seem to just give them one more easy way to rack up citations without having to worry about actually trying to find and stop the real problem drivers.

What are the odds that you would? Probably close to zero even if it happens every day.

What you are all saying is that a law with severe penalties attached would not act as a disincentive for texting while driving. I want to know how you defend that one? We aren't talking about a criminal element here; we are talking about people that are either too stupid or two reckless by nature to recognize the danger. What's more, the severity of the distraction is surprising and warrants immediate and decisive action. This is not just a distraction but a distraction three times worse than being legally drunk. The precedent is already set by drunk driving laws that severe penalties should apply.

Another angle on this is that in the event of an accident, your records can be checked to see if you were in fact texting. This is already done. By making a specific law, the argument about the degree of distraction that texting presents is moot. If you were texting while you were driving, you are liable for any accidents that occur.

I just realized another interesting thing. If I have an expensive navigation system in my car along with a subscription for service (making certain large corporations money) I can apparently play with that all I want so long as I am not obviously driving like an idiot. But if I have a mobile device with a free googlemaps app and I try to use it while driving I can get a ticket.

... except isn't the idea that you set it beforehand and it verbally informs you of your route as opposed to an mapping app which i assume you would need to read to use?

I know some of them have the voice response. I don't know about all of them. I do know that I use my googlemaps app for directions quite often. I route it before I take off and then just run through the directions as I go. All it takes is one or two buttons pushed and a glance to see what my next turn is. Not much different in distraction level than looking at written directions, maybe even less depending.

If you ask me, you should just enforce reckless driving laws, and not make a new silly law about texting.

Also, a quick question: How can they say that texting is 3x as dangerous as drunk driving? That's not a fair comparison, is it? How on Earth can they compare the two? Number of crashes? I imagine that the people who drive drunk are already worse drivers than people who merely text while driving (because even if texting is more dangerous, only an idiot would be drunk and drive whereas a reasonable but uninformed person could occasionally text while driving). Also, drunk driving is, to my knowledge, more heavily enforced than any texting laws. That means they catch it more often and artificially reduce the danger. Anyway, maybe they took things like this into consideration.

People do other dangerous things while driving... I think it's silly to make so specific a law. That's all I'm saying.

That may be. Is that how the study was carried out? Do you know?

I sort of assumed they were just looking at statistics, but then again, I guess they could have done a controlled test.

Then again, there is the potential for some pretty severe bias in a study like this. I'd be interested if anybody could briefly explain how they came up with the results...
 
  • #33
According to the article:

To get the data, the institute installed video cameras and sensors in long haul trucks and personal vehicles and watched the results for up to 18 months.

Looking at this page, it seems like the way they did this was to watch real drivers in the real world, and it looks like the way they're getting the number 23 is from "how long the driver takes his eyes off the road".

If somebody else can make heads or tails of their method, let me know. If it's what I said, I remain unconvinced.

The legal limit is .08 right? At .08 you don't really feel too much different than completely sober. Driving at .08 is obviously stupid, but driving at around .15 is very dangerous. I understand that the study was comparing it to the legal limit, but still... Also, being drunk is something you can't turn off. Texting is something that lasts a few seconds. It's hard to compare the two as a whole.

I read some article saying that while texting people look at their phone for 5 out of 6 seconds. When I text, I don't look at my phone whatsoever. I want to have a HUD on my windshield that displays text messages people send me.
