Do not listen to iPod while you drive!
Friday, July 14th, 2006
According to a study released in April 2006 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the many forms of distractions (while you are in the car driving) are responsible for eight of every ten car accidents. Starting from this study, the Canadian Automobile Association wants to adopt strict rules through which the younger drivers will not be allowed to use Mp3 players, cell phones and other portable devices while they’re driving.
According to the statement of the CAA president David Flewelling it seems like ‘restricting the use of electronic devices, such as cell phones, MP3 players and wireless hand-held devices, allows drivers to truly focus on the driving task’. Thinking about that a little bit we can realize that if for the cell phones the problem has been solved with the help of “hands-free devices”, why couldn’t iPod have something like that, especially for drivers?
