National Survey Finds Passengers Who Speak Up Can Make a Huge Difference
ERIE, Pa., May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A national survey commissioned by Erie Insurance shows that passengers can dramatically help reduce texting while driving by asking the driver to stop. Almost half of drivers who were asked or told to stop texting (43%) said they stopped doing it at once and never did it again. And yet, 10% of passengers don't speak up when a driver starts texting. Why? The majority say it's because they wouldn't want to offend the driver or feel it would be uncomfortable to say something.
Because speaking up can make such a big difference in stopping the dangerous behavior of texting while driving, Erie Insurance reached out to a psychology professor for tips for how passengers can overcome their discomfort with making "the ask."
Dr. Stanislaw Kolek is a visiting assistant professor at Allegheny College whose areas of study include vulnerable road users, driver training, driving styles and hazard perception in driving. He offers four different approaches for asking a driver to stop texting while driving.

The data about the impact of speaking up is from a survey Erie Insurance commissioned to explore the notion that for society at large to stop a negative behavior, it has to become socially unacceptable. The survey asked people not for their personal opinions, but rather how they think society as a whole views texting while driving. Almost three-quarters (73%) think it's considered socially unacceptable – but that leaves 27% who think it's considered socially acceptable, indicating that more progress needs to be made in terms of changing society's views on the topic.
