1 Do We Practice What We Preach? Frances T. Gill-Appiott, MSN, RN, CPNP AC/PC Emily E. K. Murphy, MD Nemours: Alfred I. dupont Hospital for Children Wilmington, DE List five distracted driving behaviors. Objectives Discuss the risks related to hands-free vs handheld cell phone use while driving. Discuss the self perception of distracted driving behaviors as opposed to behaviors of other drivers. DISCLOSURE INFORMATION The Speakers have no disclosures 1

2 What is the problem? Types of Distraction Visual Manual Cognitive TEXTING COMBINES ALL 3! CDC Distracted Driving 2014 Distracting Behaviors Texting Cell phone use Eating/drinking Talking to passengers Grooming Reading GPS use Watching videos Adjusting radio, CD or MP3 players 2

3 Scope of the Problem 2012: MVC with Distracted Driver: 3,328 killed 421,000 injured 1 in 5 crashes (17%) with injuries involved a distracted driver Over 171 billion text messages sent in USA. CDC Distracted Driving 2014 The Problem 27% of fatal crashes in drivers in their 20 s were caused by distracted driving. (NHTSA) 660,000 drivers are using cell phones. (NOPUS) Visual-manual subtasks (dialing, texting, reaching) with a hand held or other portable device increases risk of crash x 3. (VTTI) Did you know. Taking your eyes off the road for 5 seconds while texting = traveling the length of a football field while blind folded! (VTTI) 3

4 Is there a difference? Use of handheld vs head set cell phones pose an equal threat for MVC! (VTTI) The Hands Free Myth Over 30 studies have shown hands-free systems provide no safety benefit. Hands-free features in dashboards actually increase mental distraction. Using voice-to-text is more distracting than typing while driving. Drivers who text with their hands or voice keep their eyes on the road LESS often and have reaction time twice as slow. Texas A&M Transportation Institute 2015 AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 2015 National Safety Council 2015 Hot off the press! Of 2000 accidents studied, distracted driving was responsible for over 60% of them! This is 4 times more than originally thought! Most common distraction: talking to others in the vehicle. Texting Cell Usage AAA

5 The facts ¼ of teens text one or more EVERYTIME they drive. 20% of teens AND 10% of parents admit to EXTENDED multi-text conversations while driving. (UMTRI) US drivers years of age: More. 69% admit to talking on the cell phone while driving. 31% admit to reading or sending text messages or s while driving. CDC Distracted Driving 2014 Under 20 years of age: Risk Factors Highest proportion of distracted driving incidences. Effects of aging: 2 nd highest rates of fatal MVCs Gradual changes: Perception Cognition Physical flexibility 5

6 Do as I say Not as I do 3 in 5 drivers (61.3%) say aggressive drivers are a somewhat or much bigger problem today compared to 3 years ago. Nearly 9 in 10 (85%) say this about distracted drivers. Half (approx.45%)say this about drunk driving and drivers using drugs. More than 5 in 6 drivers support legislation. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 2014 Do as I say Not as I do Texting/ ing: 78.6% of drivers say it is a very serious threat. 84.4% say it is completely unacceptable. More than 36.1% admit to texting or ing while driving in the past 30 days. More than a quarter (27.1%) typed an while driving in the past 30 days. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 2014 Cognitive Distraction 2/3 (65.7%) drivers feel hand held cell phone use by drives is unacceptable. 2/3 (65.4%) drivers feel hand free cell phone use by drivers is acceptable. Nearly half (46.4%) using speech based invehicle systems feel they are not at all distracting. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety

7 Cognitive Distraction 89.3% of drivers support texting bans. 40.2% support a total ban of all phones. 74.6% feel hands free devices are safer. AAA has found both types of phones pose a comparable level of cognitive distraction. AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety 2014 Did you know? 2012: 18 year old Aaron Deveau was convicted of vehicular homicide when he hit and killed a 54 year old man while texting. Analysis of his phone after the incident: 193 texts were sent and received. Sentence: 2 years in prison, lost drivers license for 15 years. National Safety Campaign 7

8 National Safety Campaign National Safety Campaign Initiatives to Decrease Distracted Driving Toyota Program: Teen Drive 365 Oculus Rift: Stationary car Place headset on 3D Virtual Reality driving experience Traffic Noise Radio Text Messages Virtual friends www. Toyota.com 8

9 Initiatives to Decrease Distracted Driving 2016 Chevrolet Malibu model Special snitch key given to teen Parent can download a report on driving performance with a password: Each time driving over the speed limit Each time driver swerves or near misses an accident. A Habit Worth Breaking Turn off phone or put on silent before driving. Set special ring tones for important incoming calls; pull over to answer. Install an app on your phone that disables it while your vehicle is in motion. Designate a passenger to answer incoming calls and say you will call back later. Change your voic I may be driving, so I ll call you back later. National Safety Council 2014 Legislation 43 states have laws banning text messages while driving. Delaware: 6,200 tickets issued First offense: $106 Repeated offenses: $300 9
