Blog 3. Cell Phones And Driving Safety
2.The main point of this reading is clearly, that cell phones and, phone conversations while driving is very dangerous and causes many accidents on the road.
3.Drunk drivers tend to be more aggressive while driving and talking on the phone tends to make people sluggish while driving reaction time is reduced.
4. Number has not increased as much as expected because the drivers that are paying attention are compensating for everyone else s errors on the road.
5. Sometimes on the long ride to school in the morning I catch myself Texting, most of the time I turn my phone off while I'm driving.
6. I feel this article is effective in regards to cell phone use and driving. I feel they significantly state many true facts about this issue.
Another Interesting Point:
Frank Drews stated "Drivers on cell phones were 5.36 times more likely to get into an accident than non-distracted drivers." Also cell phones implement a reduction in reaction time to scenarios on the road

#1 again!!!What do they say about cell phone use
ReplyDeleteand driving drunk?? Really???? texting and driving?????? how about music for the long ride?
I think I was looking for more of a personal statement on the last question. Enjoy the snow.
lol Yeah I always listen to Music while I'm driving.
ReplyDeleteI do not feel that this articles research on driving and being on the phone is accurate at all. To say that drunk driving is on par with driving and being on the phone sounds foolish to me.
ReplyDeleteYeah idk about how legit this article was. Kind of an amateur.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a really good idea to turn your phone off while driving. I personally try to leave my phone in the back seat so that I am not tempted to peak at it while I am driving or even if I stop at red lights. I did find that the few times that I did use my phone even at red lights, I was holding up a lot of traffic and I had a lot of people honking at me because I was not aware of my surroundings while driving.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteI support your No 5 answer, I will try to turn my phone off while I'm driving.
