Check out the facts:

• Drivers who talk on cell phones are four times more likely to get into a collision.
• Drivers who text while driving are 23 times more likely to get into a collision.
• Driving while using a cell phone reduces your attention and concentration on driving by 37%.
• Cell phone users are more likely than non-cell phone users to miss critical traffic signals such as brake lights, traffic lights, speed limits and stop signs.
• Drivers talking on cell phones drive significantly worse than drivers talking to passengers. The cell phone users were more likely to drift in their lane, kept a greater distance between their car and the car in front, and were four times more likely to miss pulling off the highway at a rest area.
• Talking on the cell phone is quite different than listening to a car radio. Drivers don't need to respond to their car radios.
• Talking on a cell phone is also different from talking with a passenger. In most cases, a passenger can observe when there is a dangerous traffic situation and keep quiet. But someone calling you on the cell phone doesn't have a clue.
• Drivers talking on cell phones are nearly twice as likely as other drivers involved in crashes to have rear-end collisions.
• A recent study shows that drivers who are texting spent nearly five seconds looking at their cell phones - enough time at typical highway speeds to cover more than the length of a football field.
