Abstract
Younger and older adults were asked their opinions about driving while using a cellphone and the inevitable distractions that occur in such situations. Participants were also asked for their thoughts on hypothetical laws being introduced that would ban cell phone use during driving. Older adults were much more likely to feel that any possible distractions are potentially hazardous compared to young adults, and more likely to report that cell phone benefits do not outweigh their disadvantages. In general, older adults seem more cautious about the impact that cell phone technology has on driving, are more apt to realize the consequences of such behavior as compared to younger adults, and also tend to support stricter driving and distraction laws.
