  3. FACTS: • Multitasking is a myth. Our brains cannot process two cognitively demanding tasks at once. • There is no difference in risk between hands-free and handheld cell phone use. • Cell phone users are x4 times as likely to be involved in crashes resulting in injury. • Drivers talking on cell phones fail to see 1/2 of the information in their driving environment. They “look” but they don't “see”.

  4. FACTS: • Adult passengers often actively help drivers by monitoring and discussing traffic, whereas a person on the phone cannot see the roadway and adjust the conversation as needed. • Hands-free devices do not offer safety benefits • No cell phone call or text is worth a life
