Talking on a mobile phone while driving...
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
Talking on a mobile phone while driving **increases the risk of distraction**, even if a **hands-free** device is used. Although these devices allow talking without touching the phone, the driver's attention is divided between the conversation and the road. This can lead to errors such as misjudging distances, missing traffic signs, or even drifting out of the lane.
The use of mobile phones while driving is prohibited in Spain, but using hands-free devices is still dangerous. Partial attention to the conversation can cause **disorientation** and **loss of time awareness**, which increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, it is advisable to stop the vehicle in a safe place to make calls and avoid long conversations while driving.
