Handsfree while driving ... not always safe
(Hi-TechView) Research shows that even without holding the phone to listen to the call, the driver of the car has been significantly reduced ability to concentrate on the road and can have an accident.
The idea just to hear a phone call while riding as it may cause harm to the person hugging the steering wheel as well as pedestrians and the use of the handsfree system's safety measures, valid than.
However, according to the latest research, threat level between 2 way audio / video calling is the same.
Specifically, according to scientific research by Dr. Haque Shimul at QUT (Queensland University of Technology (Australia) chaired learn about the factors that cause distraction while driving, distraction level while users online to listen to the phone and the user's listening / hands-free calling is the same. it is known that this study was done in a test environment that simulates the different traffic conditions as realistic for 2 groups , a group holding the phone directly on hand to hear the call, the remaining group using the device supports in-car handsfree.
The study results showed that both groups of participants 2 trials have slow reaction speed as compared to each other and if people do not come to the phone while riding, the reaction rate of the group who heard the phone while driving slower cars to 40%. As explained from the team, this is equivalent to the user will have a slower response in 11m distance when the vehicle is moving at a speed of 40km / h. Research also indicates that users are distracted by the phone regardless directly or handsfree while drivers tend to slam on the brakes.
Explaining the causes of lack of concentration when both drivers have heard the phone, according to research group is due to the human brain when it priority only handle the information from the call instead of processing the information in the media surroundings. Basically the drivers when they will not see what immediate clear whether they are staring at persons / vehicles on the road.
Fortunately, the study also showed QUT shows the exchange, talk while drivers between the rider and others without causing major distraction when drivers come to the phone because the passengers will self-running dialogue with people holding the steering wheel when detecting complex situations on the road.
