One wonders why there is such a heavy penalty for drivers using mobile phones while driving when those who use their phones while cycling, on a personal mobility device (PMD) or walking across the roads are not penalised for doing so.
Cognitive distraction from mobile phone use can reduce situational awareness and increase unsafe behaviour for pedestrians, just as it does for drivers.
Being distracted, whether one is a pedestrian or behind the wheel, can lead to accidents.
When on the move, our brains, eyes and ears are responsible for our personal safety and using gadgets while doing so means that we are risking our personal safety.
How do you feel about this?
