Handsfree ring in car just as dangerous as with usual gsm

From an American investigation appeared again that bells in the car dangerous is, even with a handsfree telephone. Motorists have during the ringing burden of 'tunnel vision' through which they estimate can bad depth in. More head-tail collisions its the consequence.

That ring is bad for the rijgedrag, was already longer clear. Until now closed was thought that the damage limits remained through the use of a handsfree set, by which the drivers the hands at the steering wheel can hold during the conversation.

From an investigation of the university of Utah appeared however that the use of a handsfree telephone a false feeling of safety can give. Someone that rings, reacts slower and comes in the right place often collisions in head-tail. Besides its no differences between a telephone that you hold or a that handsfree works.

The bellers suffer according to investigation David Strayer at a form of 'tunnel vision' by which they take up the surroundings no longer good in self. Therefore the motorists can yet but bad depth and speed assess and miss they important traffic plates or traffic lights. The test was done with twenty volunteers, that in a digital row-simulator driven around, (see the image under this report). The phenomena did not self or scarcely for during the listening to the radio or the talking with medepassagiers.

According to professor Strayer, a psychologist, that among many known became because of its Dual Task-study, is a man not very arranged superiors branches at the same time out to lead. Of that is everybody self conscious, except of the drivers self: “Ninety per cent of the interrogated thinks that they better ride then average. Only forty per cent has it wrong”, according to Strayer.
