A driver who receives a call can miss the sudden situation. When we use a cell phone while driving, as you know, we can not concentrate on driving as usual. According to the survey result, when they use cell phones while driving, 46 percent of the 837 drivers entered into another lane. 23 percent tailgated. 18 percent almost hit another car and 10 percent ran a red light. (Robinson, A dangerous combination, http://newshound.de.sui.edu/ spring03/stories/storyReader$1976.) The more they drive talking on the phone, the more it will be dangerous.
Speaking while driving exerts a higher mental workload than driving alone.
