Question 7935

The risk of an accident from using a cell phone while driving is mainly due to:

  1. The vehicle's deviations from its path of travel.
  2. There is no risk if we use a hands-free device.
  3. It is easier to maintain an appropriate speed.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The vehicle's deviations from its path of travel.

While you use your cell phone, the car drifts from its path without you noticing, and you can leave your lane, run off the road, or move into oncoming traffic. You also have trouble maintaining an appropriate speed, and using a hands-free device does not remove that risk.
