72% of Commercial Drivers Admit to Distracted Driving<\/h3>\n

More than 90% of commercial drivers believe that reading a text while behind the wheel of their company vehicle is considered distracted driving<\/a>, yet nearly half of those drivers say they have done it.<\/p>\n

The data comes from UFG Insurance who recently expanded its distracted driving awareness campaign, including content specifically about and targeted to commercial fleets.<\/p>\n

UFG’s “Worth It” program, which launched in 2017, has set a mission to provide companies with resources to spread the message that distracted driving is dangerous and needs to be stopped.<\/p>\n

The content that covers commercial fleets \u2014 including posters and presentations \u2014 is drawn from proprietary research conducted by UFG and points to some disturbing trends among commercial drivers.<\/p>\n

Key among the findings is that 72% of commercial drivers surveyed acknowledged that their distracted driving could cause a collision.<\/p>\n

Four in 10 (39%) said they have sent text messages while operating their vehicle, and 47% said they’ve read a text. Calls are another problems. Six in ten have talked on a handheld phone while driving.<\/p>\n

Moreover, nine in ten fleet drivers say they have engaged in other forms of distracted behaviors including talking to a passenger, listening to music, changing the station on the radio, or adjusting remote controls while driving.<\/p>\n

On the upside, the UFG survey found that commercial drivers are four times more likely than general drivers to use an app designed to prevent distracted driving.<\/p>\n
