BDifficulty 2/5

Does using mobile phones while driving lead to a greater risk of an accident?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. Dialling, reading, writing or conversing can divert attention and increase risk; this is not confined to dialling or texting. Even hands-free conversation can cause cognitive distraction. Handling a device adds visual and manual risks, but not every conversation necessarily causes every type of distraction simultaneously. Avoid distracting use and stop somewhere permitted and safe to attend to it.
