Dont Text And Drive

Image result for don't text and drive
What was I saying? Yes, distractions. It’s hard to focus on doing one thing.

However, sometimes it’s really vital to be able to resist the urge to divide your attention between multiple spheres. All of us would agree that using a cell phone while driving is dangerous.
Does that call or that text message matter more than your life?Cant that call or conversation wait ?We tend to be distracted by our phones.It  makes you lose focus and eyes off the road.Why is it dangerous to use cell phone while driving?
In general, there are three main types of distractions while driving, and they are:
  • Visual – Distractions that take your eyes off the road
  • Manual – Distractions that take your hands off the wheel
  • Cognitive – Distractions that take your mind off driving
Each of these distractions increases the possibility for accidents. Cell phones combine all three distractions, and this is what makes them so dangerous. When you text or call, you will tend to take your eyes off the road, hands off the wheel and mind off driving. All this means: The chances of an accident increases greatly when using a cell phone.
This increased chance of an accident stems from the fact that humans are not genetically predisposed to multitasking, though we may think otherwise. Studies have repeatedly shown that our human brain can perform tasks only in a linear manner, and that the brain simply switches between tasks when needed. The 100 billion neurons that send messages to the brain are incapable of sending multiple messages at the same time. This means, when we have a task on hand and do it with our full concentration, we can do an amazing job of it. If we have to do two tasks at the same time, then the productivity and concentration gets divided, and this is evident in the performance. The same applies to driving too. When you drive and talk, you are unable to do both properly. Even if your concentration is equally divided, there is a 50 percent chance that you will make a mistake, and this is why multitasking is really not for us.
Besides mental abilities, our body structure also comes with its natural limitations. The presence of only two hands greatly limits our ability to use tools. In fact, one of the first lessons taught in Driver’s Ed is “both hands on the wheel”, and this lesson precludes the availability of hands to do other tasks like using the cell phone.
The human eye also has its limitations, as both eyes can see only in the same direction. Let’s say, you’re traveling at a speed of 55 mph and you take your eyes off the road for a mere five seconds to read an incoming text message. While it may seem insignificant to you, it amounts to driving blindfolded across a football field filled with obstacles. In this sense, this five-second break can be an eternity when you’re faced with such obstacles, and the impact is sure to be severe. This is exactly the effect when you text and drive.
