Mobile phones are one of the primary technological advances of the 21st century. Not only have they increased social networking and changed the way humans communicate, they also serve as an effective form of personal security — in an emergency, or when travelling alone, a mobile device can help a driver have a more efficient journey. However, using a handheld device while driving is dangerous, illegal, and can often lead to injuries or fatalities. It is important to understand the risks associated with using a mobile device behind the wheel, to avoid these potentially hazardous situations.
