Episode Details

Phone use behind the wheel is hitting dangerous new highs, with 15% of drivers admitting to scrolling, texting, or streaming while driving — the worst level in eight years. Young drivers are especially risky, with 27% confessing to video use. While voice calls without hands-free have dipped slightly, experts warn this just swaps one dangerous habit for another. With 21 lives lost and over 40,000 convictions tied to phone use, officials say tougher penalties aren’t enough — it’s time for a cultural shift before the roads become even more deadly.
