Editor's Notes
- You have personal responsibility for your safety so it is important to understand the factors affecting your safety when on the roads. This includes the effect using and talking on your cell phone has.

- Do you text while driving Do you talk hands free? Do you talk on hand held cell? Do you Drink and drive?. The reason I ask the last question is that studies have found: (next slide)
- Based on tests comparing reaction times

Including Cell phones and in car technology. In car technology puts the highest demand on drivers, in particular Apples Siri. 125 similar studies Virginia TecH 2009 http://www.vt.edu/spotlight/achievement/2013-07-01-distracted/texting.html University of Utah 2006 http://www.distraction.gov/download/research-pdf/Comparison-of-CellPhone-Driver-Drunk-Driver.pdf Louisiana State University http://theadvocate.com/home/7775093-125/lsu-finds-texting-while-driving National Center for Biotechnolgy Information University of Calgary http://www.ibc.ca/en/In_the_Community/documents/road_safety/DriverDistraction_full_study_jan2007.pdf Harvard Center for Risk Analysis University of Toronto http://cellphonefreedriving.com/media/harvard.pdf
- In Laboratory: Had subjects complete cognitive tasks both without distraction and with ie. Simple math problems Driving simulator subjects completed simulated highway driving again with and with out distractions. In cars again with and without distractions. Measured where people were looking, heart rate, blood pressure demonstrates that being an attentive driver requires three things at all times: eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and mind on the task at hand. Degradations in peripheral detection, brake reaction time, brainwave measurements, and visual scanning all indicate that drivers who engage in secondary tasks while driving place a greater cognitive burden on themselves. This leaves fewer resources available for the driving task and impairs performance.
- University of Utah =2006
- Results of Joint study U of Utah and triple AAA
- Popular Discover Channel TV Show Myth Busters tested the myth that driving hands free is safer than drinking and driving 3 tests on closed course DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME Normal Driving Driving then receiving a phone call Driving while over the legal limit and impaired.
