National surveys
The first Response Insurance National Driving Habits Survey was released in 1999, marking one of the first serious investigations into the issue of driving distractions and the use of cell phones while driving. It is featured in many national newspapers and news magazines, as well as internet searches & media outlets. Subsequent groundbreaking surveys are issued on road rage, drivers’ response to road rage , use of turn signals , and “distracted driver personality type.” The survey has been conducted on a yearly basis ever since, due to its increased popularity, high circulation and readership.
