Benefits & Drawbacks of Mobile Phones. An Investigation of the Safety Implications of Wireless Communications in Vehicles DOT TOC. Introduction Since the introduction of cellular telephones in 1983, there have been dramatic changes in the cellular industry. With a growth rate of about 40 percent per year, it is estimated that by the year 2000 there will likely be about 80 million cellular telephone users in the United States. Changes in the technology, from heavy, cumbersome and expensive cellular telephones, to inexpensive, miniature hand held units, smaller than a pack of cigarettes, have had a significant impact on when, where and how we conduct our affairs, both business and personal. Societal pressures for increased efficiency, more leisure time, and an improved sense of safety, have placed wireless communications at the forefront of potential solutions for an increasingly mobile and technologically sophisticated populace. It was inevitable that the reduced size, reduced cost and increased functionality of the cellular telephone would find its use by drivers in vehicles increasing dramatically.

Driving Research and Statistics. The Just Drive! Program focuses on parents of teens in addition to the teens themselves. Research shows that teens often mimic their parents’ bad driving habits, even though they know it’s not smart and not safe.

In 2005, Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin gathered additional research on this phenomenon by conducting an online survey to better understand teens’ and parents’ perceptions of their driving and of each other’s driving. What they learned confirmed their thinking. The survey found most parents exhibit the same distracted behaviors as teens such as talking on the phone, listening to music, eating, speeding and following other vehicles too closely. In fact, when asked to list the top five driving distractions, both teens and parents reported the same distractions, all of which they said they had done within the last 30 days: While both groups admit to being distracted, many are not changing their behaviors even if involved in a crash.
