Despite all sorts of warnings, who hasn’t been tempted to talk or text on a cell phone while driving? In this
volume of the Cell Phones and Society series, no holds are barred in providing statistics, case studies, and
incident examples that should convince every individual to turn his or her cell phone off when driving.
Drivers are distracted by a variety of situations—eating, drinking, applying makeup, even shaving—but, as
the caption of one photograph states, “texting while driving is considered to be one of the biggest hazards
on the road.” The always interesting narrative is interspersed with compelling personal anecdotes, color
photographs, relevant quotes, detailed source notes, and extensive sources for additional research. Given
the relevance of the subject to the readership, this should get plenty of attention and use in libraries.
