Farmers Insurance Finds More Than Half of Drivers Admit to Using Cell Phones While Behind The Wheel; Shares Focused Driving Tips
The vast majority of drivers understand the danger cell phones present on our roadways, but survey data from Farmers Insurance reveals a significant gap between this belief and drivers' actual behavior.
According to the survey, 87 percent of drivers surveyed believe that people who use their phone behind the wheel pose a danger to others. Yet, 53 percent of those drivers admit to making a call behind the wheel and 45 percent admit to sending, reading or receiving a text message.
Farmers offers its safe-driving app, Signal, to help drivers recognize behaviors that may be taking their attention off the road and earn a discount for focused driving.2 The insurer also recently launched CrashAssist within the Signal app, a feature that can detect crashes and help connect drivers to emergency and support services.

Study: California Rules Reduced Diesel Emissions, Cut Related Deaths in Half
California's strict limits on diesel air pollution appear to have paid off. Since the limits were added in 1990, diesel exhaust-related deaths have been halved, with the largest reductions in deaths seen in lower-income communities, a new study finds.
The number of annual diesel-related cardiopulmonary deaths in California between 1990 and 2014 was half what would have occurred if the state had the same reduction in diesel emissions as the rest of the country, the researchers estimated.
"Everybody benefits from cleaner air, but we see time and again that it's predominantly lower-income communities of color that are living and working in close proximity to sources of air pollution, like freight yards, highways and ports. When you target these sources, it's the highly exposed communities that stand to benefit most," said study author Dr. Megan Schwarzman, a physician and environmental health scientist at the University of California, Berkeley's School of Public Health.
