Key Points

To synthesize published evidence evaluating the relationship between cell phone use, text messaging, and motor vehicle crash risk across driver experience levels.
Conducted a PubMed literature search from 2000 to 2013 focusing on distracted driving and mobile phone use as driving distractors.
Identified and analyzed 19 studies that met criteria for evaluating distracted driving, mobile device interactions, driver experience, and crash incidence.
Evidence consistently linked mobile phone distractions, including texting and touch messaging interfaces, to an increased incidence of automobile crashes.
Younger and inexperienced motorists demonstrated the highest frequency of texting while driving alongside the greatest susceptibility to distraction-induced collisions and injury.
