I am an attorney and have a client who was stopped waiting for traffic to clear so that she could turn into her subdivision. Her life was forever changed when a driver who was using her camera phone as she was driving struck my client at 45 miles per hour! Is anyone aware of similar tragedies?

I think that people somehow are lured into thinking that because the vehicle compartment is “at rest” relative to their bodies, they are not traveling at deadly speeds. Multi-tasking while driving is a more dangerous example of this. But we also see it when people drive a few feet away from the car in front while traveling at 60 miles per hour. Far too close to stop if the car in front brakes suddenly.

It is important to think broadly about tackling distracted driving beyond cell phone use and texting. Most distractions are caused by these and other factors, including kids asking questions from the backseat, music on the radio, road signs, reaching for a toll fare and many other distractions inside and outside of the car.

We won’t be able to legislate, restrict via technology or remove all of the distractions that cause distracted driving so we need to go right to the root cause – the driver’s inability to focus and react quick enough. Research about how the brain works and its impact in driving situations make it clear that brain performance is the biggest factor in driving safely.

We have found a way to directly impact a driver’s ability to focus and react through brain performance training. In rigorous testing, crash incidence was decreased by an average of 50% in drivers in just 10 hours of specific, computer-based training. Posit Science commercialized this technology in DriveSharp, a brain fitness software product endorsed by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

To make a dent in distracted driving, let’s reward drivers and provide incentives from fleet operators, insurance carriers, car manufacturers and DMV’s for those who take the steps to improve their driving overall.

Exactly.
