Mobile phone use and driver distraction are major causes of road crashes and contribute to almost 20% of serious injuries. Research shows that using a mobile phone while driving quadruples the risk of crashing. The use of a mobile phone while driving is just as dangerous as drink-driving.
Failing to wear a seatbelt also has significant impacts on the outcome of a crash for drivers and passengers. Vehicle occupants not wearing seatbelts have a much lower chance of surviving a crash than those who wear their seatbelts. Wearing a properly adjusted seatbelt improves the chance of surviving a crash by 200%.
