Heard on the morning radio today an Ad for a new Corsa - free integrated touch screen, so why is this allowed to happen
My arse.. the AA teamed up with sky news now? Don't need a fucken report to tell me what I know for a fact...
And in America too: Is it safe to talk to passengers while driving? Believe it or not, using your phone isn't the most dangerous activity to do while driving. Chatting with your passengers is. It sounds weird, but according to federal data, more than half of distracted driving accidents were caused by conversations with passengers.23 Jun 2016
What percent of car accidents are caused by drivers talking to other passengers? Interacting with one or more passengers was the top cause of distraction, causing 15 percent of the crashes. This may surprise people who think cell phone use is the top issue. It came in second during the study, causing 12 percent of the accidents.
Pah.. Some crap from the yanks from a few years ago... Probably commissioned by trump . Does he sell phones?
https://www.tigermobiles.com/faq/texting-and-driving-statistics/ 1.6m collisions. Yet the one fact of actual collisions, never mind fatalities, caused by texting suggest (of 17k pa) 400 or so are as a result of distraction using a phone... Like climate change. And Brexit. And The Brazil thing. And cyber crime. And terrorism. And everything else we are force fed to keep the masses scared and willing to dob in their neighbours...
If you concentrate you can use your phone and drive quite safely - who here thinks they are incapable of doing so People who can't are just crap at driving. Where it gets difficult is when you are looking out for coppers and civvy's with cams as well - this then causes accidents. Thankyou for understanding
Can we get a breakdown of phone use? Talking Vs texting? Also may be numbers texting Vs talking to passengers as this may have some value.. I garrenty 99.99% of drivers were breathing when they crashed also, don't make it more dangerous though
