Cell phone safety

Did you know there are more than 83 million cell phone subscribers in the United States? Cell phone ownership has increased in every age, education and income level. The increases are especially dramatic among young adults 18 to 24 years old.

Concern about cell phone safety is on the rise. This is due in part to the increase use of cell phone while driving. Most of us spend a considerable amount of time in our cars. Not surprisingly, we will attempt to optimize the time we spend driving by doing other things, including using our cell phones.

However, cell phones can pose a serious health risk. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has determined that driver inattention is a primary or contributing factor in as many as 50 percent of all traffic accidents. While cell phones have many benefits, it is very important to remember road safety always comes first.
