What can you do to avoid the dangers caused by using a mobile phone while driving?
Human factor: Physical factors
Explanation
Using a **mobile phone** while driving is very dangerous and increases the risk of accidents. This is because the driver pays more attention to the conversation than to the road, which can lead to errors in distance calculation, disorientation, and difficulty in handling the steering wheel. Moreover, in Spain, it is prohibited to use a mobile phone while driving unless a hands-free device is used, which can also be dangerous as it distracts the driver.
To avoid these dangers, it is advisable to **stop the vehicle in a safe place** if you need to use the phone. In this way, you can fully concentrate on the call without compromising road safety. Once you finish the call, you can continue driving with your full attention on the road.
This practice is not only safer but also complies with recommendations to avoid distractions while driving.
