Social Media..turn off!

13/5/2014

0 Comments

 
The latest research from Australia once again confirms that the use of social media such as Facebook and Twitter is on the increase and is now accounting for around 43% of accidents especially among young drivers with smartphones who can't resist the urge to check that tweet or text. Driving a car requires our full attention and any distraction such as media devices, phones, MP3 players or even just the kids playing up in the back seat can lead to severe consequences. It has been illegal in the UK to use a handheld device in a moving car for a while now but this doesn't seem to deter those that 'think' they can do it and not put other peoples lives at risk. I still see people on a daily basis driving with their phone in their hand and their eyes flicking up and down as they try to text or tweet. It's a total distraction and will eventually lead to an accident which could result in injury or death. 
The message is simple..turn on the car, turn off the phone.
