The analysis showed that in-vehicle distractions had a high effect on the crash likelihood. A structural equation model was constructed to identify the latent variables that have a significant influence on crash risk.
Other reported activities include adjusting audio devices, chatting with passengers, smoking, eating, and drinking. Most participants reported frequent cell phone use while driving. The data were collected through a self-report questionnaire.
The objectives of this study were to identify the distracting activities in which young drivers engage, assess the most distracting ones based on their experiences, and investigate the factors that might increase crash risk. Distracted driving has been considered one of the main reasons for traffic crashes in recent times, especially among young drivers.
