This document discusses the risks of driving while using hands-free cell phones. It notes that driver distractions are the leading cause of crashes resulting in fatalities and injuries. Using a cell phone while driving, even hands-free, can impair a driver's performance by distracting their visual attention, cognitive focus, and auditory awareness from the task of driving. The brain has difficulty effectively multitasking between driving and holding phone conversations. Studies show cell phone use behind the wheel can reduce brain activity in areas important for safe driving and delay reaction times as much as having a blood alcohol content of 0.08%. The document reviews litigation against companies for employee crashes caused by cell phone use and recommends education, bans, legislation and technology to
Chief McCollum discusses the dangers of distracted driving and recommends restricting wireless device use while driving. Distracted driving causes thousands of deaths annually. An ordinance banning handheld use but allowing hands-free use is recommended, along with public education and enforcement. Staff estimates a $15,000 cost to install signs within 60-90 days to notify drivers of the new restrictions.
This document summarizes a webinar about increasing workplace electric vehicle charging. It lists the following key points:

Cell phone use while driving poses significant risks. It is a leading cause of car crashes, especially among teen drivers, resulting in over 35,000 deaths per year in the US. While hands-free devices were thought to be safer, 30 studies found no safety benefit compared to handheld phones. This is because talking on the phone is a cognitively distracting activity that can cause drivers to miss up to 50% of their surroundings. The document provides tips for reducing cell phone use while driving such as putting the phone in the trunk, using apps to hold calls and messages, or designating a passenger to handle incoming communications.

The document discusses the dangers of distracted driving, particularly from wireless communication device use. It provides statistics showing that distracted driving, especially texting, significantly increases the risk of accidents. While most states have banned texting while driving, Texas is one of few that has not enacted an all-driver texting ban due to enforcement and privacy concerns. The document examines perspectives from the national level down to the local level in Texas and considers options for a potential city ordinance restricting wireless device use while driving.
Using hands-free cell phones while driving can still be risky behavior according to this document. While hands-free devices eliminate the manual distraction of holding a phone, they do not address the cognitive distraction of focusing attention on a conversation instead of the road. Numerous studies have shown that any type of cell phone use while driving, whether hands-free or handheld, can impair driving performance by taking attention away from the primary task of operating a vehicle safely. Legislation and education efforts aim to reduce cell phone use while driving, but all forms of phone conversations behind the wheel pose dangers.
Using hands-free cell phones while driving can still be risky behavior according to this document. While hands-free devices eliminate the manual distraction of holding a phone, they do not address the core cognitive distraction of focusing attention on a phone conversation instead of the road. Numerous studies have shown that any type of phone conversation in the car can impair driving performance by taking attention away from visual scanning and other important driving tasks. The document advocates for education and policies to address all distracted driving, not just handheld phone use, in order to improve traffic safety.
This document discusses hand-free driving and the Automotive Collision Avoidance Systems (ACAS) project. ACAS used radar sensing to prevent collisions, video imaging to track the vehicle's path, and DGPS for location. It integrated Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) technologies. FCW warned of impending collisions while ACC automatically maintained a time gap behind slower vehicles. The system used a forward vision sensor for lane tracking, video camera for road/lane detection, radar sensor for object detection, DGPS and road map database for positioning, and a processor to fuse the data and control brakes/throttle for collision avoidance. The goal was to allow safer driving by reducing distractions and preventing
This document provides information about distracted driving, with a focus on commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. It discusses:
- The various types of distractions, including phones, passengers, food etc. and their impact on driving ability.
- Statistics that show an increase in fatal crashes related to distracted driving from phone use and fatigue. Drivers using phones have slower reaction times similar to drunk driving.
- Federal and California state laws that prohibit handheld phone use and texting while driving CMVs. Fines and license suspensions increase for repeat offenses.
- Strategies for avoiding distraction, like putting phones out of reach, and pledging to be a distraction-free driver and passenger. The
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for people ages 5 to 35 in the US. Human error is responsible for the vast majority of crashes, around 93%. Using a cell phone while driving makes a driver four times more likely to crash due to the cognitive distraction it causes. Reaction times of drivers using cell phones are slower than those of drunk drivers with a 0.08% blood alcohol content. Both hands-free and handheld phone use pose dangerous risks, as the brain experiences inattention blindness and a 37% reduction in spatial processing needed for driving. Cell phone use is estimated to be involved in 24% of all motor vehicle crashes. Public opinion polls show strong majority support for bans on cell phone use while driving.
Driving while using hands-free cell phones is still risky behavior according to this document. While hands-free devices allow drivers to keep their hands on the wheel, they do not eliminate the cognitive distraction of talking on the phone. The brain can only focus on one complex task at a time, so talking on the phone, even hands-free, diverts attention away from the primary task of driving. Studies show hands-free drivers have a narrowed visual scope and miss more objects in their peripheral vision compared to non-distracted drivers. National safety organizations recommend widespread education and legislation to curb cell phone use while driving in order to help reduce the over 1.6 million crashes caused by distracted driving each year.
Distracted driving refers to any activity that takes a driver's attention away from safe operation of a vehicle. Common distractions include texting, eating, adjusting controls, and interacting with passengers. Distracted driving contributes to thousands of crashes each year resulting in injuries and deaths, especially among teen drivers. To prevent distracted driving, drivers should turn off devices before driving, secure loose items, plan for stops if needing to eat, and remain focused on the road.
Introduction to the defensive driving course (DDC)waheedasghar5
More than 35,000 people die in motor vehicle crashes in the US each year, with over 90% due to driver error. Defensive driving techniques can help prevent accidents and involves skills like scanning the road, maintaining distance from other vehicles, and avoiding distractions. Some key aspects of defensive driving include being alert for hazards, understanding how to respond to prevent collisions, and making safe driving choices even if other drivers act unsafely.
The document discusses several issues related to assessing self-driving car (SDC/AV) technology. It begins by defining terms like SDC and autonomous vehicle. It then discusses reasons for SDCs like safety and reduced costs from accidents. However, it notes traffic deaths are already declining. It also estimates bugs in SDC software code, with a potential 1250 lethal bugs. It raises issues like testing limitations, driver skill degradation during handoffs, and how passengerless miles bias safety statistics. Overall, the document outlines both benefits and risks of the technology from various perspectives to inform a comprehensive assessment.

The document summarizes a national study on distracted drivers in active school zones. The study observed over 19,000 vehicles passing through school zones and found an overall distracted driver rate of 170 per 1,000 vehicles. Certain behaviors like using electronics and eating resulted in higher distraction rates. Factors like signs, traffic volume, and state laws were also found to influence distraction rates. The study aims to determine the prevalence of distracted drivers in school zones and the effectiveness of sign messaging to advance knowledge on this issue.

In conclusion, it emphasizes that connected and autonomous vehicles will revolutionize transportation and impact funding.
This document discusses the dangers of texting while driving and distracted driving legislation. It provides the following key points:
- Texting while driving significantly impairs driving skills and reaction times, increasing the risk of accidents. Alberta has passed legislation restricting handheld cell phone use and other distractions while driving.
- Surveys show that Canadian drivers' cell phone use while driving has risen from 20.5% in 2001 to 37% in 2006, with most using their phone for less than 10 minutes per week.
- Texting while driving has been linked to several deadly accidents. Reaction times are slowed by 1.2 to 1.6 seconds while texting, increasing risks at highway speeds. Drivers are encouraged
Texting while driving greatly increases the risk of car crashes, especially for teen drivers. A study found that texting creates a crash risk 23 times higher than non-distracted driving. Eleven percent of teen drivers involved in crashes admitted to texting at the time. In 2012, driver distraction was a factor in 18% of fatal crashes in the U.S., resulting in over 3,000 deaths. To help reduce this risk, parents should clearly instruct teens not to use phones while driving, lead by example by not texting while driving themselves, and educate others on the dangers of distracted driving.

Coca-Cola Lawsuit – Employee was using a hands-free device for the
call, in compliance with company policy. The employee was on a mobile
phone call while driving a company vehicle and struck the plaintiff’s
vehicle and seriously injured her.
Dyke Industries – Employee driving a company owned truck struck
plaintiff’s vehicle and severely injured her. Cell phone records showed he
had been on a call immediately prior to calling 9-1-1 –i.e. prior to crash
outcome.
Holmes Transport – While driving a company truck, an employee
caused a multi-vehicle collision that injured 12 people and killed 3 in
2008. Employee admitted to failing to notice stopped traffic because
he was distracted by reaching for his cell phone. (Consider the
consequences of reaching for other electronic devices, picking up food or
drink items etc.)
15. nsc.org
Prince George County – An AT & T representative testified at
trial that the employee either received or sent a text message
immediately before the crash.
Beers Skanska – Employee was reaching for a mounted, hands-
free company – issued cell phone to check voicemail at time of
crash.

How Cell Phones Distract
• Visual – Eyes off road
• Mechanical – Hands off wheel
• Cognitive – Mind off driving
• Auditory – Not listening to truck and
surrounding sounds
17. nsc.org
Multitasking: A Brain Drain
• Brain juggles tasks, focus and attention
• Brain switches between primary and secondary tasks
• Inattention blindness
– When people do 2 cognitively complex tasks
(driving and using a cell phone), causing brain to
shift focus
• Bottleneck
– Different regions of brain must pull from a shared
and limited resource for unrelated tasks
18. nsc.org
Inattention Blindness
• A type of cognitive distraction
– “looking” but not “seeing”
• Hands-free drivers less likely to see:
– High and low relevant objects
– Visual cues
– Exits, red lights and stop signs
– Navigational signage
– Content of objects
• Slower reaction/response times
• Problems staying in lane

Multitasking:
Impairs
Performance• Just listening to sentences on cell phones decreased
activity by 37% in the brain’s parietal lobe which
perceives movement, and it also decreases the activity
in the brain’s occipital lobe which processes visual
information.
• Listening and language comprehension drew cognitive
resources away from driving
• Delays a drivers reaction as much as having a blood
alcohol concentration of .08% (source:distraction.gov)
• The average text take your eyes off the road for at
least 5 seconds sometimes more, at 55 mph that is
enough to cover the length of a football field or more
not counting PRB (Perception, Reaction and Braking)
23. nsc.org
Multitasking:
Impairs Performance
• Driving involves a more complex set of tasks
than walking:
– Visual
– Manual
– Cognitive
– Auditory
• A driver’s job is to watch for hazards, but this
cannot be done when brain is overloaded
A lot of times, we are already distracted. There are so many things that the driver has to pay attention to.
“A century ago, Model T’s brought motoring to an emerging middle class.
A half century ago, teenagers cuddled in convertibles at drive-in movies.
A new generation of drivers see cars as an extension of their plugged-in lives, with iPods, DVD players and other gadgets.”
USA Today, 2-17-2009
Our society and laws are coming to terms with this change in our culture.
While engaged in another activity – eating, drinking, putting in address in gps, talking on phone etc.
Typically one that involves the use of a cell phone or electronic device but not exclusively
Eating; drop ketchup on your shirt, will you at least look at it
Drink; spill your drink will you try and control the spill
Smoking; if you knock the cherry off in your lap or sit will you just sit there
Not saying you will never eat, drink or smoke but know the true dangers of doing so.
Driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs used to be a leading factor in crashes. Distracted Driving is fast becoming a leading cause of crashes.
Doing ANY activity other than driving is distracted driving.
Think about how many other things our going on with other drivers that you are on the road with, especially 4 wheelers i.e. Driving impaired under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Not being medically fit to drive. We don’t have the same medical and background screening with the 4 wheelers. With all of this it means that we as professionals have to be even more vigilant.
Texting is not just texting by definition. It includes all of the above instant messaging, emailing etc.
CSA scoring – 10 points. What effect does accumulating CSA points have on your driving record and on the carrier’s.
From NY law - An operator of a commercial motor vehicle who holds a portable electronic device in a conspicuous manner while such vehicle is temporarily stationary because of traffic, a traffic control device, or other momentary delays is presumed to be using the device.
You have to worry about more than just the FMCSA regulations and CSA points – 10
What would happen if you were disqualified, how would you make a living……
Old Gold Rush – Miners would dig and dig until they found that one nugget. 21st Century Miners are no different.
There are many attorney’s firms solely devoted to suing big trucking firms. Look at the Keller & Keller website that emphasizes the unique opportunity a wreck with a semi is, touting how there are large insurance policies available.
It is often said that we have a “legal system but not a justice system”
Coca-Cola Lawsuit – Employee was using a hands-free device for the call, in compliance with company policy. The employee was on a mobile phone call while driving a company vehicle struck the plaintiff’s vehicle and seriously injured her.

Prince George County – An AT & T representative testified at trial that the employee either received or sent a text message immediately before the crash.
Beers Skanska – Employee was reaching for a mounted, hands-free company – issued cell phone to check voicemail at time of crash.
CHALLENGE: Drivers don’t understand or realize that talking on a cell phone distracts the brain and takes focus away from the primary task of driving.
It may be legal but it is NOT safe!
Multitasking for the brain is a myth
Human brains do not perform two tasks at same time
Brain handles tasks sequentially
Brain switches between one task and another
Functional magnetic resonance imaging or functional MRI (fMRI) is a functional neuroimaging procedure using MRI technology that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled. Physicians perform fMRI to:
examine the anatomy of the brain.
determine precisely which part of the brain is handling critical functions such as thought, speech, movement and sensation, which is called brain mapping.
help assess the effects of stroke, trauma or degenerative disease (such as Alzheimer's) on brain function.
monitor the growth and function of brain tumors.
guide the planning of surgery, radiation therapy, or other surgical treatments for the brain.
Parietal lobe contains neurons that receive sensory information from skin and tongue, and processes sensory information from ears and eyes that are received in other lobes.
Occipital lobe processes visual input that is sent to the brain from the retinas. The fact that the visual system gets an entire lobe for processing emphasizes the importance of high visual acuity and processing among our senses.
Text is the example used here i.e. but what about your gps, what about looking at the buttons on the hands-free device, adjusting your radio, reading a map, what about picking up a drink or food, picking up something that has fallen in your floor board.
PRB – Perception, Reaction and Braking – at 65 mph – total stopping distance is approximately 600 ft.
Education – what we are doing here today for example, mass media campaigns.
Corporate cell phone bans – company policy.
Legislation – FMCSA, other municipality laws
Law enforcement – fines, tickets, disqualification
Technology – next slide
Technology to restrict cell phone use. (Cellcontrol & Kyrus) An insurance carrier may offer a reduced rate to the carrier if they have these units installed in their trucks. A carrier may decide to put it in a driver’s truck as a constructive correction effort.
The Kyrus Mobile solution is quickly & easily installed on each cell phone or mobile device to be protected, and then paired with a Bluetooth Safety Device (a small dongle the size of a deck of cards) that is plugged into the vehicle’s ODB-II port (cars and light trucks) or J1939 port (heavy trucks and buses). These ports have been government-mandated since 1996 and are available on all later-model vehicles. When the vehicle starts to move, the solution enables Safe Mode and prevents the driver from using the cell phone (with the exception of calling 9-1-1) until the vehicle stops. Visit our How it Works page for deeper details.
Lytx & Janus Cam – Drive Cams to monitor and to change unsafe driving habits
In the meantime… do what you can do to be safer…
Most of these apps are free.
Some will read your texts to you when you are in drive mode and allow you to send a customized automatic text response.
There are also apps that will allow you to voice record your message and send it. We need to do our part to be as safe as possible, by establishing safe habits.
There are also companies producing technological solutions in the way of installing devices in your truck that eliminate the ability to use a cell phone for calls or texting while the vehicle is moving…yes I think that is exactly where we are headed.
