Distracted Driver

Professor Steve Stradling's view:
"You might sometimes be able to drive with only one hand on the wheel, but you can't ever drive with only half a brain."
Here are some of the things drivers do at the wheel of a car:
• Listening to loud music
• Eating an apple
• Fixing hair
• Having an argument
• Making a quick note
• Changing a CD
• Lighting a cigarette
• Putting on make-up
• Reading a map
• Kissing the passenger
• Having a hot/cold drink
• Telling a joke
