Drivers should stick to the radio and steer clear of iPod’s

New research has been published showing that drivers generally are safer when using their car radio than if they have an iPod in their vehicle.

The research, from the Journal of the Human and Ergonomics Society in the US, finds that drivers are less distracted if they are searching for a favourite radio station than they are if looking for a particular song on an iPod or MP3. They tested 50 drivers aged between 18 and 25 on a driving simulator and tested them when choosing radio stations and using iPods, while also varying the road conditions and the density of traffic.

They found that the longer the iPod playlist, the more chance there was of being distracted as the process of choosing a song meant drivers must take their eyes off the road and possibly for longer than they would intend. With nine out of 10 new cars now having MP3 connectivity, which allows motorists to use portable devices through the car stereo, clearly the problem is here to stay.

Client feedback

Emily Spencer has been excellent! She very patiently explained issues regarding my Will and checked with senior colleagues if she felt that she needed to. I am delighted with her attitude and professionalism.

I have used Winston’s solicitors for conveyancing twice now and would not go elsewhere. Samantha’s service is second to none, she is brilliant at what she does! She has kept me informed every step of the way and will always reply to any query I have within minutes. She really takes away the stress of buying and selling a house and will be worth every penny you pay for her outstanding service. Thanks again Sam! :)
