Regardless of whether you drive a truck or a car,
distracting driving can lead to disasters. Any kind of distraction can be a
danger to everyone in the vehicle, as well as to other traffic participants.
Nowadays, using the phone while driving, without having a
hands-free system, is the most dangerous form of distraction.
Analyzing the use of the telephone by drivers more complex,
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute in the US did a complex and extremely
interesting study concerning the use of the telephone while driving and
published the results in 2009. Among other things, specialists calculated how
much higher the risk of accidents is, when drivers do different actions with
their mobile phone (talking, texting) while driving. It was concluded that it is almost 3 times
higher when a driver initiates a call, 1,4 times higher when they try to grab their
mobile phone and… almost 25 times higher when they engage in writing a message.
Remember that when you are behind the wheel and you are
distracted for certain reasons, it is not only your life that you put in danger,
but you are also responsible for the other people in the car and the other
traffic participants. There is no excuse for taking any chances, sign up for driving classes today at https://www.masterdrive.com/orange-county/.
