Is the vehicle multimedia system dangerous?

I think many drivers wonder that question. Of course, the multimedia system itself does not carry danger, the danger lies in the fact that it distracts driver attention. But we have an expert opinion on this matter - the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. It is a charitable, non-profit organization that is located in Washington. Their mission is to save people lives thru their research and educational programs in the field of traffic safety.

According to their researchers, a driver can be distracted by various factors, which can be conditionally divided into three groups: visual, physical, cognitive. Visual - include cases where the driver transfers vision from the road. Physical - when the driver removes one hand from the steering wheel. Cognitive factors include cases when the driver is not fully involved in the process of driving when his thoughts wander.

According to their observations, new information systems, which are present in modern cars, force drivers to remove their hands from the steering wheel, distracted them for a long time. If the driver uses a touch screen or gives a voice commands - it distracts him by 40 seconds on average (set up the navigation for example). But 40 seconds - it's so little! It turns out that during this time you can drive four football fields if you will be moving with a speed of 40 km / h. The AAA foundation also claims that translating a vision from the road only for 2 seconds, doubles the risk of being involved in an accident.

According to statistics, one of the three drivers uses the multimedia system of their car while driving.

This association also determined the operations with multimedia, which are safer during the movement of the car, and those that increase the risk of accidents. The choice of radio frequency and volume control are the least dangerous. Next more dangerous - are conversations. The least secure operation is navigation control, especially at the moment of the address entering.

Forewarned is forearmed. Be alert while driving and do not get distracted from the road, you can add the address to your navigation app while not driving. This will save your nerves, money, and maybe your life.
