This research study will examine the role of in vehicle cell phone use and drivers safety by simulation. Since cell phones have been inventions, they have and are becoming very popular, which cause the growth of wireless phones dangerous. In today’s society, many people use cell phones while driving. However, when using a cell phone while driving does it have an impact on drivers’ safety? Today, many people use cell phones between 1 and 3 times per day while driving, and don’t recognize the risk of harming themselves, their occupants, and the public. Whether they are texting, talking, and dialing on the cell phone, it allows many safety hazards to occur. Additionally, using cell phones while operating a vehicle the risk of loss attention, crashes, near crashes, and some form of aggression against other drivers are increased.
1. Does in vehicle cell phone use have an impact on driver’s safety?
Many people communicate by cell phones on a daily basis. But they don’t know or understand how this will impact their safety. Driver distractions are becoming a significant problem in motor vehicle collisions. As stated by Cramer, Mayer, and Ryan using a cell phone while driving is hazardous and it magnifies their risk of having a collision, which multiplies the risk of fatalities (2007). Since people do not understand the risk of in vehicle cell phone use, I came up with this research question. Additionally, I wanted to found out how a driver’s safety is impacted by cell phone use.
2. Alternative hypothesis: As measured by simulation, there is a relationship between in vehicle cell phone us and driver's safety.
Null hypothesis: There will be no relationship between in vehicle cell phone use and driver's safety, as measured by simulation.
3. The participant chosen for this study are 30 young adults (ages 18 to 25) with the average age being 20, and 30 older adults (ages 30 to 55) with
