What do you think are the cause of motor vehicle accidents?
Distractions are the cause of motor vehicle accidents and one distraction is wireless phones. Even if you’re just walking around and having some conversation on your version cell phones, you’re distracted on your way. You can’t concentrate and sometimes you just have to stop walking to have focus on what you are doing. The use of a cell phone while driving is a high-risk habit on the community. It is a serious life-threatening action and this is due to people engaging in this habitual and the mind distraction drivers experience when using their wireless phone for conversations.
A public opinion poll showed 81 percent of the public admitted to talking on a wireless phone while driving.
And because of this awareness campaign many businesses and organizations understand the risk and are already taking action to manage their phone plans and phone systems.
A Carnegie Mellon study took pictures of the brain while drivers listened to sentences and drove on a simulator. The drivers listening to sentences had a 37 percent reduction in spatial awareness, which can directly contribute to cognitive distraction. For adults, talking to a passenger while driving is significantly safer than talking on a cell phone. Passengers, unlike cell phone conversations, can make the driver aware of changing road conditions they might not see and can stop the conversation if traffic conditions warrant.
