Overview of Motor Vehicle Traffic Crashes in 2021
Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.
Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.
You cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has your full attention. Any non-driving activity you engage in is a potential distraction and increases your risk of crashing.
We can all play a part in the fight to save lives by ending distracted driving.

Distracted Driving. NHTSA. April 2019
Overview
Distracted driving is dangerous, claiming 3,166 lives in 2017 alone. NHTSA leads the national effort to save lives by preventing this dangerous behavior. Get the facts, get involved, and help us keep America’s roads safe.

Evaluation of Enhanced Brake Lights. NHTSA. DOT HS 811 127. April 2009
"This report details a series of interrelated research studies and supporting activities (performed under Task 1) intended to further characterize and develop rear brake light signals likely to improve driver reaction to hard braking lead vehicle events, emphasizing unique and novel approaches not previously studied. The first study, LED optimization, characterized a sample of existing, commercially available automotive LED brake light arrays and documented the current state-of-the-art for LED technology. This work also developed optimized signal lighting configurations, including specifications for LED signal approaches (flash frequencies, brightness levels,
patterns). The second empirical study (static testing) narrowed the pool of available signal approaches using static field evaluatio

Analyses Rear end crashed DOT HS 810 846 NHTSA October, 2007
"The 100-Car Study collected unique pre-crash data that might help to overcome the limitations of police reports and, thus, might help identify possible countermeasures. Such information includes the timing and location of where drivers were looking, the timing of accelerator release and brake application, as well as the drivers’ time and force modulation of the brake pedal. The goal of this task is to gain a better understanding of what driver behaviors and performance contribute to rear-end events, the vehicle kinematics that influence the event, and the potential of enhanced rear-signaling systems to alert following drivers or provide additional cues regarding lead vehicle dynamics......the data provided justification for various deceleration criteria for enhanced rear-lighting system

Rear- End crashes DOT HS 807 994 NHTSA May,1993
"This document presents problem size assessments and statistical crash descriptions for rear-end crashes, including two key subtypes: lead-vehicle stationary (LVS) and lead-vehicle moving (LVM). Principal data sources are the 1990 General Estimates System (GES) and Fatal Accident Reporting "System (PARS). Rear-end crashes are a potential "target crash" of high-technology Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) crash avoidance countermeasures. In this report, the rear-end crash problem size is assessed using such measures as number of crashes, number and severity of injuries, number of fatalities, crash involvement rate, and crash involvement likelihood. Problem size statistics are provided for three vehicle type categories................."
