I figure that most other drivers are in some virtual world, so I have access to all my senses when driving. Even turn the radio off in towns.

But a toddler's chatter and a crying baby are enough to distract me from the road. Adding a mobile phone, Bluetooth headset, DVD player and GPS system would literally drive me to distraction.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/we-dont-need-dylan-on-satnav-to-be-driven-to-distraction-20090831-f58c.html?page=fullpage"><P>Yet every day I see families on the road with two kids in the back while the driver has one eye on their phone and the other on the satnav. Wait, where's that other eye? Not on the car pulling out ahead, or the dog running across the road, that's for sure.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/we-dont-need-dylan-on-satnav-to-be-driven-to-distraction-20090831-f58c.html?page=fullpage"><P>And I'm not a Luddite doomsayer - I'm no stranger to Mac envy, or man-bonding over digital cameras. But research suggests there are physiological limits to our attention, and we're testing them with our in-vehicle gadgets. One recent study in the US showed that GPS increased the risk of collision by a factor of six. Another suggested that technological distractions were the equivalent of a blood-alcohol reading of .08.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B3E4136F-53AF-43C3-893E-C766E703672F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
