Drivers use their Cellphones more when Speeding, Telematics Data show

article imageDrivers are more likely to use their phones while speeding, a tendency that increases crash risk by combining two dangerous behaviors, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. "Until now, safety experts believed drivers used their cellphones most at slower speeds," said IIHS President David Harkey. "But data from insurance companies safe-driving apps show that, in free-flowing traffic, the opposite is true."
