Can your phone be the reason for your death

07 Aug 2016

Distraction has been identified as a contributing factor in 22% of car crashes and near crashes and 71% of truck crashes (and 46% of near crashes) in naturalistic driving studies.

Using a mobile phone whilst driving is one of the highest cause of distraction and it increases the risk of a crash four-fold. Despite the dangers and illegality, approximately 25% of recently surveyed drivers reported using their hand-held mobile phone on a daily basis to answer or make calls, as well as read text messages, while 14% reported using their hand-held phone to send a text message on a daily basis.

Driving is a complex activity performed in an environment that is constantly evolving and involves the simultaneous performance of multiple subtasks. Despite this complexity, drivers often engage in additional activities that can take both their mind and their eyes off the road and their hands off critical vehicle controls. The mobile is the source of distraction in almost all cases.

We stand with The Ministry of Interior in Qatar in its campain against those who use mobiles while driving. We encourage all drivers to use the hand-free head phones or make the call only after parking the car safely.

Perfect car for you in Qatar

Buying a car in Qatar is probably the most demanding decision to make. Choosing the perfect car for you in Qatar, either new or used, is not as difficult as you might imagine, but it will take some time to make your selection. A wide variety of cars can be found in Qatar, from tiny hatchbacks to massive SUVs, from older models to newly released, top-of-the-line automobiles. Some individuals may prefer the illusion of safety that a slightly larger 4x4 provides, as well as the days of dune bashing and desert driving that such a car allows.
