this test should have been done with 15 subjects just trying the virtual course with someone talking to them in the car, and then 15 without any distractions

@Trialwolf 2 месяца назад

Nevermind, I thought you talking about the real world course not the virtual course, my error. For the virtual course I can only speculate that they either couldn't use the equipment long enough or they had to pay to use the equipment and budget wouldn't allow a full control/distracted pairing.

@KenFullman 2 месяца назад

This was exactly my thought. Their results indicate that there's no difference between hands full or hands free but they've failed to prove that using a phone while driving has any effect whatsoever. It could be that the virtual course was setup with so many hazards that even the most competent driver would likely fail. We'll just never know.

Something else to consider is people like my son and I who Visualize their thoughts. I was traveling to a work site with my son who was the technical expert for the work we were doing. He was driving and I was taking any calls so he would not be distracted. But, one caller insisted on talking to him, so he took the call and was able to diagnose the situation. When He handed the phone back, he said, "That was scary, for the last few minutes I've been looking at a cct board." Fortunately we were on a strait stretch of highway.

Also driving backwards changes how the car turns, the steering wheel creates a larger arc of the front of the vehicle which revolves around the back wheels, which are now the front wheels acting as the point of rotation...which results in tighter turns that are far more difficult to control

@GaijinGamerGirl 2 месяца назад

As someone that has worked in a retail warehouse I can confirm that being on a phonecall, whether it's by hand-held or bluetooth devices, will slow you down and affect your ability to operate anything. As an example I was moving 400 units an hour, compared to a large american woman that was moving closer to 200-250 units an hour and holding everyone up, meaning we had to go down opposing aisles and come back down the aisle we needed to get the items. She was on her phonecall constantly throughout the day and a real nuisance, getting special treatment due to not being British.

@skabarella Месяц назад

as Adam once said that Jamie is a bit on the spectrum and adams bubbly, easily distracted and excited, style I'd wonder, if their neurodivergence was a underestimated factor in those driving tests. Adhd and driving don't mix well. Got adhd myself and if I have a bad brain day, I just won't drive; otherwise most times in busy city traffic even the radio is to much distraction for me to hold focus on driving. Neurodivergence, be it adhd or autism, change the way we process information on a fundamental level - while blasting music while parking may be no problem for neurotypical individuals, neurodivergence tends to have difficulties filtering out sensory input and focus on the task at hand, so suppressing incoming information is much harder. I guess with a bigger sample size and better chosen test subjects, the results may have varied quite a bit..

@RB-bd5tz 2 месяца назад

Driving in reverse is fundamentally different from driving forwards because, when driving forwards, the front wheels do the steering, and when driving in reverse, the "rear" wheels (which are normally the front wheels) do the steering. This results in much different behaviour from the car.

In the UK, using a handheld phone whilst driving is illegal. There was also talk of banning use of hands-free kits as well .. which IMHO is similar to banning the driver from talking to passengers ..?! How about legislating against these over-specced in-car-entertainment systems which are so loud the occupants can't hear an ambulance right behind them? (Never mind the flashing lights)!

@Daervon Месяц назад

I remember watching this episode when it first aired, and re-watching it now, I still think the same thing: It's completely biased and unrealistic (more so than what's usual for Mythbusters)... There is no way that, even if their data had shown that driving while on the phone (whether hands-free or not) was safe, that they'd have aired that (or been allowed to do so). Also, good heavens, either both Jamie and Adam, as well as those volunteers they got, are really bad drivers or something fishy's up with driving lessons in the US.

@noreavad 7 дней назад

Driving forward or backward I have never let the steering wheel slip of my fingers! Why would you let the kinetic energy of your car go wild?

@chasdart7298 2 месяца назад

It is great that most in the US drive auto cars. Unfortunatly, in the UK where we mostly drive manual, many people still think that they can drive with one hand! As to hands-free, you are still being distracted from what is probably the most complex and dangerous task that you will ever do in your daily life. (Civilians only, also pilots, marine captains, etC. You guys rock! But you don't use your phone while doing it! (I HOPE).

@markwright3161 18 дней назад

There are precision fighter jet pilots who talk/sing to each other over radios in order to fly withing a couple of feet of each other if that counts (a sort of hands free link between the jets separate to Air Traffic Control, etc). Of course, the key difference is they're talking about what they're doing, so not actually taking focus away from flying, much like 'commentary driving' in advanced driving courses like Roadcraft, the IAM, RoSPA, etc.

@TheManLab7 2 месяца назад

It's illegal to use your phone in the UK and you get 6 points n a fine. You've only got 12 points on a UK driving license so if your caught twice, you've lost your license for 2yrs and your insurance will go up a LOT.

@RB-bd5tz 2 месяца назад

Everything is PRACTICE. When you are learning to drive, just concentrating on driving itself is enough, let alone using the other dashboard features. With experience, you can operate the air conditioning, radio, etc., while driving. Some people are also more easily distracted than others. I can use a phone, hands-free or not, or eat or drink without taking my mind off the road. Some people find that more difficult. Another thing is knowing your limits. In heavy downtown traffic or other difficult conditions, I don't pay attention to anything other than driving.

@RealCadde 2 месяца назад

Drivers are horrible at the best of times, no need to add phone calls to worsen those results. In fact, i am sure a huge chunk of those volunteers would have crashed even without the phone call. But i will add this, virtual worlds are NEVER analogs for the real world. In the real world you have more feedback and higher fidelity. You are simply more likely to spot someone doing something stupid because the actors are not simulations, they are real people and real people will show signs of their indecision and whatnot. Giving ample warning in most cases. IF they did this in a virtual world where ALL actors were real people, it would have been more interesting.

On the other hand, you might actually NEED to answer questions correctly when asked irl, or you might get asked stuff that shocks/distracts you completely, to the point where you zone out entirely. Like "hey babe, just a quick heads up, our son got bitten at the park .. when was his last rabbies shot? And, just checking, did he have 4 or 5 fingers prior? Eh, whatever, close enough, hey you want some indian tonight, there's a new one next to the hospital..". See? And now, on the fly, you have to decide what's for dinner. Boom, distraction! ^^

Kinda poor testing. I bet for the simulation test, if they added a control (driving with no distractions), drivers will still hit the cyclist. As for the GPS, without a graphical GPS routing, it is like having 2 conversations with 2 separate persons at the same time - you will miss out parts of either conversations, in this case, the GPS instructions

Over 13 years of rallying, having a guy calling pace notes through an intercom and sometimes me speaking back, in a high stress environment, where you can have animals and even spectators on the course. Put on top of that, that guy or woman sat next too you is telling you what corner is next and an unknown to the driver, is probably worse than a mobile phone call. I think Richard Burns was being told when he was alive, six corners ahead of the one he was going into where to go or hazards ahead. Don`t get me wrong here, it takes practice and even the best can crash because of hearing the wrong note or miss hearing it. So if that can happen on a rally stage, it can happen on a phone call where it could take your attention from what your doing, but you could argue your wife or girl friend ripping you a new one, while being sat next too you could also do the same thing, which i think could happen as well as you end up taking your attention from the road and directing it at her or him. Personally if we can minimize car accidents then that is always a good thing.

@markwright3161 18 дней назад

The passenger can see what you will need to pay attention to and shut up, where someone on the other end of the phone won't see you approaching a junction with someone about to step into the road and decide at that moment to ask you what you want for dinner or tell you something is on offer at the store and would you like to change what you're getting there and then. Having said that, some passengers can be just as dangerous to have in the car when they don't react to the environment while talking or doing other stuff while in the car. Some places seem to think about this. Australia has limits on passengers for young 'P plate' drivers, up to only 1 passenger for the first 12 months at night.

@markwright3161 18 дней назад

Talking to a passenger *is different* to someone hands free on the phone. If you're driving into a busy environment or need to follow the satnav, the passenger can see this happening and stop speaking. The person on the phone can't see this and so won't stop asking you what you want for dinner, and telling you you're out of whatever your first choice was and need to decide on something else. They can't see that if you go quiet it's because a pedestrian is just stepped into the road, and so they'll ask if you're still there (thinking it cut out) expecting a response right when you need to be paying your full attention on that pedestrian, etc. A passenger in that situation would probably draw attention to the pedestrian, even if it's just to call them stupid or something. It's all the difference that's needed to make it a potentially significantly less dangerous situation.
