Question 1281

What effects does a cell phone conversation lasting more than a minute and a half have on driving?

  1. The driver stops noticing a significant portion of the signs, even with a hands-free device.
  2. Average speed increases, even with a hands-free device.
  3. The driver does not stop noticing signs if using a hands-free device.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The driver stops noticing a significant portion of the signs, even with a hands-free device.

Talking on a cell phone for more than a minute and a half can distract drivers enough to make them miss a substantial portion of the signs. Hands-free use does not prevent this distraction.
