There are numerous cell phone reviews read
everyday. This one however, is about bus drivers, their passengers
and cell phones. In Honolulu the bus drivers have complained
bitterly about their passengers having distracting cell phone
conversations while riding the bus.
The problem comes when the cell phones are allowed to ring and
ring to the point that it distracts the driver. Then when the
phones are answered they are on loud speaker. The drivers say this
distracts their driving.
The passengers have absolutely no intention of taking this lying
down; they have struck back at the drivers. They contend that the
real problem is the drivers themselves. They chat too much on their
own cell phones while they are driving.
Ken Hong, vice president of Oahu Transit Services had this to
say about his cell phone chatty drivers, "It is a safety concern
for the bus company. When you are on your phone, you are
distracted,"
He went on to say that bus safety rules do not allow talking on
cell phones while driving. Their only form of communication is the
radio phones. The bus company encourages its passengers to report
drivers seen talking on cell phones while driving. They consider it
a dangerous practice that must be stopped.
We are all well aware that people talk on their cell phones
while driving. We also know that there have been accidents caused
as a result of talking on the cell phone. However we must keep in
mind that cell phones are beneficial most of the time.
The vast majority of people purchase cell phones because of
security reasons. A whopping 50% of cell phone users have reported
crimes, accidents, emergencies and drunks on the road.
Authorities have said that cell phones have cut response times
dramatically. They also have been able to apprehend criminals more
swiftly because of cell phones.
Take for instance the young lady who was riding the train on her
way to work. A seedy male passenger began to grope and fondle her.
She calmly moved away, used her cell phone to report the assault
and the man was arrested at the next stop!
There are many positive benefits of cell phone use. However, I
think we can all agree that there is a degree of distraction when
driving and using a cell phone.
The main distraction has to be in the area of our response time.
If we did have an accident that was not our fault but we were on
the phone at the time of the accident, could we have avoided the
accident were we not on the cell phone while driving?
Sometimes the problem is not so much that we are cell phone
talking while driving, but it is the intensity of the conversation
we have while driving. A complex business call, a mother trying to
calm her upset child, a spouse having a loud argument over the cell
phone and certainly lovers getting too hot and heavy on the cell
phone.
These types of intense conversations certainly are more
distracting than a light hearted meet you at the movies type of
conversation.
Studies have shown that the older you are the slower your
reaction time to a possible accident. Studies have also found that
reading a map ranks as the high and lonely driving distraction. No
other distraction even comes close; not even cell phone use while
driving.
Many cell phone reviews are helpful in pointing out the hazards
of using a cell phone while driving. The positive benefits of cell
phone use certainly outweight the negatives. Did you know that cell
phones are the hottest item for 2007? Position yourself now for the
cell phone boom. Grab this special cell phone report: cell phone
