Mobile phones and distraction

At 60 km/h, if you look at your phone for just two seconds, you travel 33 metres, virtually blind. A short lapse in concentration can have serious consequences.
Driving is a complex task. Anything that takes your mind or eyes off the road, or your hands off the wheel, not only compromises your safety, but that of everyone else on the road. No phone call, email, message or post is worth risking your life or someone else’s.
Being distracted increases your chances of having a crash. It slows down your reaction times and it puts you in danger of not seeing other road users, important traffic devices like traffic lights and stop signs, animals or hazards.
