This is a
site that is dedicated fully to understanding how and why people get distracted
while driving. At the University of
Utah, they “use sophisticated equipment, including
driving simulators, eye trackers, and we also measure brain activity (electroencephalography)
and use neuroimaging technology (functional magnetic resonance imaging) to
understand the cognitive neuroscience of driver distraction. “
(Paragraph 1) I trust this sites information
because they have been studying driver distraction for the last decade and
their mission is to “make our roads safer by reducing
driver distraction, which has become an epidemic on our roadways.” (Paragraph
2) This is also the site where I found
the Driver Distraction Blog on Car Talk, the show that has been on NPR for as
long as I can remember. Here is a link to several videos the have done about distracted driving. (I could not figure out how to embed them into this blog, since they were not on You Tube. Would love some advice on how to do that!)
