Mobile Phone Usage While Driving

Mobile Phone as an Constituent for accidents The most dangerous thing you can do while driving down the highway is to text, talk on a cell phone or update your Facebook status. Everyday there are car accidents caused by drivers who were distracted and didn't pay attention during their drive time. These distractions will only get worse as more people own smartphones with invehicle communication systems like Apple Car Play coming out soon that allows them to use features such as voice commands for navigation, sending messages and playing music from inside of all major vehicles without ever picking up their hands off the wheel or foot off the pedals-basically anything they could be doing if someone was sitting next to them. It's hard to drive with all the cell phones, texting and loud music playing these days. There are so many cars on our roads today that it can be difficult for drivers to focus solely on driving their car while keeping an eye out for other vehicles in front of them or behind them. This distracts from one's main priority- safety. Studies have been done which show how different sources like phone calls, text messages, streaming services work as distractions when they come into contact with traffic accidents because people tend not only miss information but also fail to anticipate events around us properly. Experts say there is enough evidence now about what risks we face by being distracted and what interventions could help reduce its impact upon road traffic crashes such as using Bluetooth headphones.   Statistics of Distracted driving caused by mobile phones
