Abstract

Drivers involved in fatal U.S. car crashes were more often “lost in thought” than distracted by mobile phones, police data show. Ten percent of U.S. auto accidents that caused death involved at least one motorist who was distracted. Daydreaming and being “lost in thought” was the distraction 62 percent of the time, compared with 12 percent for mobile-phone use. (Author/publisher)
