Driving can be more dangerous if you adjust the radio or talk on a mobile phone while driving. This is because these actions can distract you from driving and reduce your ability to react to unexpected situations on the road.
When driving, you should focus on the road and your surroundings. Any action that takes your eyes off the road, your hands off the steering wheel, or your mind off the task of driving can be dangerous. Adjusting the radio or talking on a mobile phone requires you to take your attention away from driving, even if it’s just for a few seconds, which can increase your risk of being involved in an accident.
Studies have shown that using a mobile phone while driving, whether it’s for making calls, sending text messages, or using social media, can significantly increase the risk of accidents.
In fact, research has shown that using a mobile phone while driving can be as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol.
Therefore, avoiding distractions while driving, including adjusting the radio or talking on a mobile phone, is important. If you need to adjust the radio or use your mobile phone, it’s best to pull over to a safe location first.
