Fast Company reports the Root Insurance Distracted Driving Awareness Survey released Tuesday found that “so-called Zoom zombies are terrorizing U.S. drivers and pedestrians.” The survey showed that “54% of motorists who have driven their vehicles soon after using a video conferencing platform report having trouble concentrating on the road.” Distracted driving was “already a problem before the pandemic, and national data shows that traffic fatalities have increased over the last year.” Fast Company adds, “According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 28,190 people died in car crashes during the first nine months of 2020, up 4.6% from the same time the previous year.”
