In a recent US research, it was found that text messaging on cell phone while driving increased your crash risks by 23 times.4 However, our local drivers still feel they can multi-tasks while driving.
Here’s what is new, TEXT and DRIVE is equal to DRUNK DRIVING. A recent simulator study showed that drivers on the cell phones look but fail to see up to 50% of the information in the driving environment.5 This study makes sense, doesn’t it?
This distraction is one of the major causes of accidents. Accidents cause loss and suffering to the victims and their loved ones, employers and our society.
Road traffic injuries are preventable. You, your family, your social network and your company can take actions to increase road safety awareness. You can start by wearing crash helmet, if you are on a 2-wheeler and ensure all occupants in your vehicle is belt up before driving. Yes, with this I mean private van, school van, MPV, buses and school buses.
Secondly, you can start gaining more insights into good road safety habits and learn to be a Defensive Driver.
Finally, we hope you can share this message with your friends in your Facebook wall and give support to increase road safety awareness. Take action now, Together we can save some lives.
