A new analysis shows many drivers are using their smart phones to snap pictures of sunsets, and post to social media while behind the wheel. Although North Carolina drivers did not make the list of the top 10 states where drivers post the most, South Carolina came in at number four.

Erie Insurance analyzed social media data to coincide with Distracted Driving Awareness Month to pinpoint what drivers are doing behind the wheel.

The company analyzed Twitter and Instagram posts that came from mobile devices and used the popular hashtag #whiledriving.

The top five hashtags used in tandem with #whiledriving included clouds, sunset, sky, nature and sun, strongly suggesting that people are snapping pictures of beautiful scenery and posting them to social media, while at the same time operating their vehicles.

Men most likely to be distracted

The ERIE hashtag analysis also found that men were more likely to be double distracted than women, with 55 percent of #whiledriving posts coming from men, and 45 percent from women.

“Drivers should be keeping their hands on the wheel, their eyes on the road, and their attention on driving but, based on our analysis of the ‘while driving’ hashtag, many appear instead to be gazing off into the sunset, often times snapping and sharing photos—clearly an unsafe situation,” said Doug Smith, Erie Insurance senior vice president of Personal Lines.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that 3,179 people were killed and 431,000 were injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers in 2014 alone.

“The statistics about the dangers of distracted driving are alarming,” said Smith. “So while it’s understandable to want to share a picturesque sky with your social media followers—imagine if it were the last one. It’s just not worth it. We hope our analysis helps drive that point home.”

The top 10 hashtags used in conjunction with #whiledriving were:

Clouds

Sky
