But even if you keep your eyes focused on the road while talking, a swipe or tap of some sort will be needed to answer and hang up your phone, not to mention all the distractions that come from a phone sending you notifications.
Take just three seconds to skim a WhatsApp message, and you’ll have covered 42 metres at this speed.Trauma surgeons in emergency rooms say this isn’t just a problem for car drivers. Cyclists and people riding scooters are also being injured by risking a quick glance at their phone. Some carmakers have been trying to end driver distraction by allowing drivers to speak to a built-in assistant to access their phone’s functions with a command like “Hey Mercedes, call dad”.
But for all other drivers using swiping their phone to answer calls, Germany’s organisation of trauma surgeons and Tuev, a leading safety inspection agency, are recommending no mobile phone use at the wheel. Aside from the safety risks, if it can be proven that you were using a phone during a crash, you can also expect to be paying most of the damages. – dpa
