Work-related distractions are common behind the wheel: A Travelers survey found many drivers are still checking emails, answering calls, and using phones for work while driving, even during busy holiday travel periods.
Pressure to stay always on is a major risk factor: Nearly 6 in 10 employed drivers feel compelled to respond to work calls immediately, and many say workplace culture and constant notifications contribute to unsafe driving behaviors.
Experts say prevention starts with both employers and drivers: Travelers Michael Fackler emphasizes clearer company expectations, do not disturb while driving tools, and simple habits like putting phones out of reach and planning ahead before hitting the road.
As Americans hit the road for summer holidays like the Fourth of July, traffic isnt the only thing competing for drivers attention. New data from Travelers highlights a growing and often overlooked issue: work-related distractions behind the wheel.
According to the survey, nearly half of employed drivers admit to checking emails or texts while driving, and more than half say they actively use their phones on the road. Even more striking, almost six in 10 say they feel pressured to answer work calls while driving blurring the line between off the clock and on the road.
With AAA projecting tens of millions of people traveling by car during peak holiday weekends, experts warn that this kind of multitasking can have serious consequences. ConsumerAffairs spoke with Travelers transportation risk control expert Michael Fackler who explained that the data points to a persistent challenge for both drivers and employers: reducing the expectation to stay connected when attention should be fully on the road.
The rise of work-related distracted driving
Fackler explained that there are several factors that contribute to work-related distracted driving, including an always-on workplace culture, technology that blurs the line between the office and the road, and a misunderstanding of the personal risk associated with driving while distracted.
He shared some key insights from a March 2026 Travelers survey of 1,000 working, driving Americans:
67% of respondents reporting they can access work communications while behind the wheel, including work emails, calls and messaging platforms.
