 Mobile phones are a distraction in basically every part of our lives. They're wonderful, joyous, connection making, convenient, superficial, time-wasting, expensive rubbish that we can't live without. Behind me here, we have Maddie doing some laps in the driving simulator. She's doing okay when she's not on her phone, but the minute she tries to send a text, things get a whole lot better here. Using a mobile phone is a physical, visual, auditory and cognitive distraction. Did you know that if you're driving at 60 kilometres an hour and you look down at your phone for just two seconds, the car will travel 33.33 metres? The human brain simply isn't equipped to do too many things at the same time. Driving is the perfect time to take a little break from the phone. Our advice? Put your phone in your bag, on the back seat, or even in the boot, because it's just too tempting otherwise. In the virtual world, Maddie on the simulator can afford to make a mistake or two. But out on the roads, distraction can be fatal.
