Researchers have for some time been warning of the risks of interacting with distracting technologies in this vehicle. Recent work has established convincingly that 78% of all road accidents involve 'driver inattention' and the law has recently changed in the UK such that if you undertake an 'avoidable distraction' when driving, e.g., reading a text message, you could be imprisoned for up to five years. In this context, the research community has focussed on assessment of in-vehicle devices. We have good data regarding use of mobile phones, especially since the introduction of restrictions on using your phone handsheld. However, there is no good data regarding many commonly adopted behaviours and experiences in the contemporary vehicle. Therefore, a survey is currently being conducted at Heriot-Watt in Applied Psychology by Dr Terry Lansdown. This survey aims to determine how often and how distracting, participants feel a variety of activities they undertaken while driving actually are. The survey takes about ten minutes and there is a prize draw for a £50 amazon voucher as a token of thanks for participation.
