Hazards of mobile phone driving:
Most drivers think it's normal to pick up and call mobile phones while driving, and don't think it's a traffic violation. However, according to the research of relevant research institutions, using mobile phones to answer and make calls while driving is more dangerous than drunk driving, and there are high hidden dangers of road traffic safety.
1、 Obstruct driving. The driver holds the direction with one hand when driving a mobile phone, which greatly hinders the driving of the vehicle, affects the speed control, the grasp of vehicle distance and the driver's line of sight, and is easy to cause traffic accidents.
2、 Distraction. When driving to make a phone call, the driver's energy is scattered, which hinders the driver's observation of the road condition and the surrounding environment. In case of emergency or emergency, it will greatly weaken the driver's adaptability and response time, and it is very easy to cause traffic accidents. The test results recently released by a British Transportation Research Institute show that when using a mobile phone while driving, the brain's reaction speed is 30% slower than that when driving after drinking. Young people driving a vehicle to receive and call a mobile phone is equivalent to that of a 70 year old driving a vehicle. The risk of a car accident when driving a mobile phone is more than four times higher than that when driving normally. 70% of fatal accidents are caused by the driver's inattention. Other studies have shown that driving a mobile phone leads to a 20% drop in drivers' attention, and even a 37% drop in attention if the call content is important. At the same time, the driving speed of the driver dialing the mobile phone is 9% slower than the normal state, and the response speed of the brake is also 19% slower.
3、 Narrow field of vision. Talking on a mobile phone while driving will narrow the driver's vision and reduce the perception ability of peripheral vision. In a related test, it is found that a driver who focuses on driving has 50% more information than a distracted driver who makes a phone call, forming a 'inattentive blindness'. Drivers who use mobile phones are more likely to miss traffic signals and often fail to see bulletin boards and other signs.
4、 Traffic jam. Driving and using mobile phones will distract attention, reduce the speed, affect the traffic rate of other vehicles and cause traffic congestion. According to the test, in case of moderate or highly congested road conditions, the number of lane changes will be reduced by 20% and the driving speed will be reduced. In very congested sections, mobile phone drivers spend 3% more time than normal driving. In medium traffic sections, mobile phone drivers need to spend 2% more time.
