Summary
According to the traffic specialist and professor at Unicamp, Creso by Franco Peixoto, in addition to the legal prohibition on driving a vehicle using a cell phone, the risk of an accident is high due to the driver's distraction and the perception and reaction time he needs when driving. “According to research, when cell phones still had buttons, it took the driver two seconds to type two characters. Two seconds is the time needed on a highway for the driver to react and avoid a side impact or impact with the vehicle in front,” he comments.
