Speeding and Smartphones: A Hazardous Combination on Our Roads A recent study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed a disturbing trend that's been lurking in plain sight on our roads.
The study found a direct link between drivers who speed and those who use their smartphones while driving, with data collected from insurance apps showing a staggering correlation: the more you speed, the more likely you are to be glued to your phone behind the wheel.
The IIHS methodology was straightforward yet effective. Researchers analyzed GPS data and phone sensors to identify speeding incidents and corresponding smartphone usage.
