It's been illegal to use a phone while driving for more than a decade now... yet people still do it.
You'd think a taxi would have a hands-free kit thought, right?!
Even then, having a hands-free kit only make it legal... it doesn't make it 'safe'
Statististics show that the distraction factor makes any phone use more of a risk than drink-driving, because although everyone knows that drink affects you, phone drivers convince themselves that they can 'multi-task'.
People might argue that 'statistics can say whatever you want', but here's evidence that proves the risk....
In October 2011, Blackberry had an outage for three days.
As a result, there were 20 percent fewer accidents in Dubai and 40 percent fewer accidents in Abu Dhabi during the three days when BlackBerry services were down.
Such evidence speaks for itself!
