Driving distracts mobile phone users
In a new twist, Wired magazine reports that driving distracts cellphone users
Routine driving impedes a person’s ability to relay information from a cellphone call accurately to a conversation partner and to remember key elements of that information, say psychologist Gary Dell of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his colleagues. Although many drivers regard talking while cruising a straightaway as no harder than walking while chewing gum, “that intuition is incorrect,” Dell says.
The road safety legislators have it all the wrong way round! Same result though; just a 180 degree different spin.
