Mobile Phone Use Ban – Totally Ignored
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
Many people especially businessmen are pulling all stops when it comes to potential business opportunities, enough to break the law and still use their mobile phones even when it has been banned by law for a couple of months now. Accidents are still happening even with the safe cars we have now making the weak-link still the driver or human at the wheel. The area of intense focus of the human eye is roughly a few square meters in the center of your field of view. Any distraction to your driving task, such as using the mobile phone almost eliminates that greatly eliminating your ability to drive.
That is not taking into the account of such unforeseen and unmeasurable factors such as emotions (an angry driver talking to an erring client, a brokenhearted sweetheart left by his guy and so on and so forth), the amount of accidents has increased but the problem is that not enough people have ample coverage leading them into more trouble than usual.
