In the ( n p
r) article "multitasking in the car :just like drunken driving (2008),the
author Jon Hamilton demonstrates the idea of safe driving by explaining that the
driving requires a huge amount of brain power and visual information as the
scientists have found the talking on the phone not to mention the hands-free
device distracts the drivers. after that he explained some focusing driving
required examples such as finding yourself in somewhere without remembering
much about the trip and this what so called automaticity phenomenon as well as the
author brought a professional pianist as a sample for ( pushing the brain
study) and the studies shown that the brain struggles with paying attention to
sights and sound at same time when the brain starts working on a visual task
and its auditory parts show decreased activity. however.at the end the author
has been indicated to the study in 2006 by the national highway traffic safety
administration that found the most common distruction for drivers was use of
cell phone .
