Question

Q.5. Using 'ear' phones while driving can be far more dangerous than driving under the influence of liquor.
Latest research says drivers using these mobile phones as a means of faster day-today communications may be
heading for an accident. The study has shattered the common belief that drinking is the chief cause of the majority of
road mishaps. Talking on mobile phones increases the risk to one's life compared to driving after being drunk. The
findings of the study are based on the survey of several cases of road accidents.
In fact, a study of the records of drivers involved in 699 such mistakes showed that the risk of accident for those
who talk on phone while driving was at least four times higher compared to those driving in a state of drunkenness.
The only advantage for those driving with cellular phone was that they could summon immediate help through these
phones. The study which is relevant for the entire world is relevant for India as well. Here too these phones are
being used increasingly for communication and business transactions.
