But not having both hands on the wheel is only part of the problem. Another part, probably more serious, is the dissipation of attention involved. If further evidence of this were needed, it has just been provided in a study published by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, in Washington, DC. David Strayer and his colleagues at the University of Utah, the study's authors, looked at exactly how distracting various mental activities are to drivers. In a world where cars are often fitted with hands-free electronic devices, what they found is worrying. Inattention to the road is not the only cause of traffic accidents, but it is an important one. In America, various studies have suggested that it contributes to between a quarter and a half of accidents. Those who think that hands-free texting is low on the list of potential driving hazards might therefore wish to think again. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
