iPod ZombieBritish motoring company, The Automobile Association (The AA) have warned iPod users to switch them off whilst driving, walking and cycling. iPod users don’t understand the risks behind listening to music whilst driving, walking and cycling.
The AA have seen an increase in the amount of pedestrians reading e-mails or listening to music whilst crossing busy roads with no regard to any oncoming traffic. As with cyclists. It’s fair to say that whilst driving, walking and cycling you should look & listen.
Research shows that loud, fast music can raise blood pressure and adrenaline – which will increase your chances of taking possible risks which you would not otherwise. The AA suggests that pedestrians lack of attention is the he cause behind 17 collisions every day.
