Topic of Week: Phoning while Driving
A recent study shows that driving while using a cell phone is as dangerous as drunk driving!
The idea that hands-free cell phones in motor vehicles would solve the problem has been refuted by studies which show that it’s the conversation, not the phone, that causes the danger.
It’s the conversation, not the phone, which distracts the driver.
Despite the danger, the trend appears to be that cell phoning while driving is accepted as ‘normal behaviour’.
To sensitize students to this issue, I’ve designed a Worksheet with Activities.
