You see people on the daily bases that are driving and have the phone on the other hand, or talking on the phone maybe it is important but usually they do that unconscious.
I do it ocasionally but it is a call from my boss or from the office and it's wrong. There's a lot of traffic accidents because of this.
I read that when you're driving and in the same time looking at your phone you loose visibility as if you were driving 1 kilometer blindless, no matter if it was a couple of seconds that you was a quick answer to your friend.
I personally don't use it because I don't have a smart phone but when I used to I did it and it is true you don't see your surrounding area because you're focus texting. You can kill a pedestrian or cause
There's a lot of laws around the world about this because they had terrible accidents, here in Tampico they don't exist.
I only use the phone when is an emergency or is a call from work while I'm driving.
A friend of mine told me that he was on the road going to Guadalajara and he was going at 130 mph and he was in the whatsapp because he was the only in the road and it was a straight line.

This is definitely something to think about! Great job!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely this is an interesting subject everybody has seen drivers using theirs cell phone while they are driving, the link that you leave us is very amazing, I can notice that it is a great problem, I would like to see the Mexican statistics about this , we need to change our minds and prevent accidents
ReplyDeleteIndeed, very insightful. Thanks for the reminder Victor. Now the ball is on our side of the court: don't text and drive!
ReplyDeleteall the time the people do that i dont know why , but they thinks taht tehy can do all the thing in some seconds. and that idea ist wrong because its more important to be focus on the street because the street have a lot of people , things more importans than a simple celphone :D
