A phone does not have to be in your hand for long to take you out of the driving task.

A message arrives. A screen lights up. You glance down. In that moment, the road is still moving. The car ahead may brake. A pedestrian may step out. A traffic light may change. A cyclist may move around a pothole.

Distraction is not only visual. A phone can take your hands, your hearing and, most importantly, your attention away from driving. Research cited by the Road Safety Authority shows mobile-phone use can substantially increase collision risk.
