Distracted Driving: Calls Kill

    There is no safe way to use a cell phone while driving - even hands free. Distracted driving takes many forms, but cell phone use is at the top. Research shows the brain remains distracted for 27 seconds after dialing, changing music or sending a text using voice commands. Almost everyone has seen a driver distracted by a cell phone, but often you don't realize that distracted driver is you. #CallsKill

    This PSA has an interesting novelty (at least one I've never seen): the driver is using and hands-free solution to make her phone call, instead of picking up the phone and looking at it. It suggests that even hands-free devices, despite not forcing you to get your eyes off the road, can be distracting enough to cause accidents. I guess I'm doing it right: I don't have hands-free devices in my car (I've tried them but concluded that indeed they still distract you a lot) and if I receive a call while driving I either ignore it or, if possible, safely stop in a safe place and answer only with my car stopped.

    Y don't they make ads telling pedestrians not to wander round like zombies looking at their phones?
    I see it virtually everyday. They see me in the peripheral vision and expect ME to get tf out of their way!

    The reality is that some people cannot divide their attention properly. A driver's attention is constantly being divided even without a cell phone and accidents happen. Looking at the dashboard, checking side mirrors, adjusting the radio, talking to passengers all take the driver's attention from the road ahead. The problem isn't the cell phone. It's that anybody who wants a license can get one, whether or not they have the skills to do so. It's not distracted drivers, but stupid ones. But, we don't take people off the road for just being stupid. So, we demonize cell phones. When what we should do is test a person's ability to do both if they own a cell phone before they can have a license. But that would be holding people accountable and we don't do that here.

    I understand people want to raise awareness but how does Bluetooth Cause an accidents if anything a Bluetooth you might cause less accidents more than the accidents that are caused When you Have the phone on your ear or is Texting.

    • @johnarat9618
      @johnarat9618 4 месяца назад +2

      You still have some focus on the conversation over the phone instead of driving. You might not notice anything on your left or right, even with Bluetooth devices. You should dedicate 100% of your concentration and focus on the road, not 50 on the road, 50 on the fucking conversation.

    What would you think if they made a psa showing a car at a drive thru in the background and the next scene fades to a woman getting out her burger and eating it in shots and booming ominous music plays, and then later she screeches and the crash and it zips to black with the ad council tag?

      I work in an industry where I have to monitor & process MVA’s. The smallest distraction can have horrible consequences & it can happen really fast.
      Have you ever turned down the radio to parallel park, or to back into a parking spot? It’s because your mind is processing millions of data input a second. Light, color, sound, thoughts, etc. Even a simple question like “what do I want to eat”, requires your brain to process memories from past food experiences, the emotions surrounding those memories, any future plans for the day, and weigh when you’ll be able to eat next.
      All those things require a lot of mental bandwidth. So driving smart (scanning mirrors every 5-8 seconds, 15 second eye lead time, keeping a space cushion around your vehicle, determining what signs on the road or relevant & what isn’t”) requires a lot of mental capacity.

    This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Her child is more distracting than the phone conversation. This driver couldn't talk to a passenger. She should even have a driver's license if she can't talk and pay attention to her driving. What a waste of advertising space.
