Sin embargo, datos federales publicados recientemente revelaron algo sorprendente: seg\u00fan Bloomberg, esos datos indican que las muertes por conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda en realidad disminuyeron el a\u00f1o pasado. Sin embargo, en lugar de celebrar esa noticia, muchos defensores de la seguridad afirman que los datos simplemente est\u00e1n equivocados y subestiman dr\u00e1sticamente cu\u00e1n extenso se ha vuelto el problema de la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda. De hecho, esos cr\u00edticos sostienen que los recientes aumentos en las muertes <a>accidentes automovil\u00edsticos<\/a> se puede atribuir en gran medida a que el problema de la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda est\u00e1 empeorando, en lugar de mejorar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 problema tienen los datos?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los datos de 2016 de la Administraci\u00f3n Nacional de Seguridad del Tr\u00e1fico en Carreteras (NHTSA) a\u00fan no se han analizado por completo, pero ya se afirma que muestran una disminuci\u00f3n en las muertes por conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda de 2015 a 2016. Sin embargo, conviene tomar esa conclusi\u00f3n con mucha cautela, ya que los datos de la NHTSA mostraron que solo hubo 448 muertes en todo el pa\u00eds atribuibles al uso del celular al volante, lo que representa apenas el 1,4 por ciento del total de muertes por accidentes de tr\u00e1nsito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Es casi seguro que esa cifra subestima el verdadero alcance del problema por varias razones. Por un lado, las muertes por conducir en estado de ebriedad fueron 23 veces m\u00e1s altas seg\u00fan datos de la NHTSA, a pesar de que numerosos estudios demuestran que conducir en estado de ebriedad y usar el celular al volante son igualmente peligrosos. La conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda tambi\u00e9n es mucho m\u00e1s frecuente; un estudio sugiere que en el 88 por ciento de todos los viajes por carretera, el conductor usa su celular al menos una vez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adem\u00e1s, la NHTSA basa sus datos en la informaci\u00f3n que recibe de cada estado, y parece que algunos estados est\u00e1n reportando mejor los casos de conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda que otros. Tennessee, por ejemplo, cuenta con un formulario detallado que la polic\u00eda debe completar despu\u00e9s de atender un accidente, el cual incluye casillas separadas para la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda en general y el uso del celular en particular como causas del accidente. Quiz\u00e1s por eso Tennessee, un estado que cuenta con apenas el dos por ciento de la poblaci\u00f3n del pa\u00eds, representa el 19 por ciento de todas las muertes relacionadas con el uso del celular en el pa\u00eds, seg\u00fan datos de la NHTSA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">La conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda se est\u00e1 agravando<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las cifras de la NHTSA tambi\u00e9n solo toman en cuenta la conducci\u00f3n distra\u00edda por el uso del celular, a pesar de que cada vez hay m\u00e1s evidencia de que existen muchos otros tipos de distracciones. De hecho, como informa MarketWatch, un estudio reciente de la Universidad de Utah y la AAA revel\u00f3 que la actividad que m\u00e1s distrae al conducir no es enviar mensajes de texto mientras se conduce, sino programar los dispositivos de navegaci\u00f3n. Los dispositivos de navegaci\u00f3n suelen estar exentos de las leyes sobre distracciones al volante y muchos fabricantes de autos los promocionan como caracter\u00edsticas de seguridad, a pesar de que varios estudios demuestran ahora que su uso mientras se conduce es extremadamente peligroso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Derecho de da\u00f1os personales<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conducir distra\u00eddo ha contribuido a que las calles y las autopistas sean mucho m\u00e1s peligrosas. Cualquier persona que haya resultado lesionada en un accidente deber\u00eda ponerse en contacto con un abogado especializado en lesiones personales de inmediato. Un abogado puede ayudar a las v\u00edctimas de accidentes a comprender las opciones legales que tienen a su disposici\u00f3n, lo que incluye ayudarlas a presentar reclamaciones para obtener cualquier compensaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica a la que puedan tener derecho.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article looks at why federal data on distracted driving is drastically underreporting the problem.
