CHIP aims to stop phone fatalities If you think it’s safer to make a phone call, or send a text using your car’s hands-free device, think again. Studies show that when drivers use hands-free or hand-held technology, their risk for a crash is the same. “When your brain is distracted by conversation outside the vehicle, you notice 50 per cent less of what’s going on around you,” said Laura Armstrong, public health promoter with the Huron County Health Unit. “You need more than your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel: your brain needs to be focused on the task of driving.” Whether hands-free or hand-held, using a cellphone when driving is dangerous and can lead to serious or fatal motor vehicle collisions. What’s more is that using a hand- held device while driving is illegal. Distracted drivers are subject to a $155 fine. According to the Ontario Provincial Police, distracted driving is one of the “big four” high-risk driving behaviours along with aggressive driving, impaired driving, and road users not wearing seatbelts. Driving is a complex task that requires undivided attention. This month, Huron County residents will see billboards and hear radio advertisements asking them to leave the phone alone and to take the pledge at www.leavethephonealone.ca. The Leave the Phone Alone campaign is organized by the Coalition for Huron Injury Prevention (CHIP) and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. For information about the Leave the Phone Alone campaign, call Laura Armstrong at 519-482-3416.
