  • Why cell phone distracted driving is severely under-reported



    ​We know cell phone-related car crash deaths are a problem. We just don't know how big the problem is. NSC partnered with Nationwide Insurance to produce a white paper and an infographic, which show how the number of crashes may be greater than we think.

  • Drivers in crashes aren't admitting to cell phone use of may even be killed
  • It is difficult to obtain cell phone records
  • Witnesses' memories and statements can be inaccurate
  • Key Causes of Under-Reporting
