cellphone driving is more distractive and passenger
conversation. They did a good job on keeping the participants
random to help keep the studies from being bias.

What can you conclude from looking at Figure 1.1? That it
takes more attention to talk and drive than it is to talk to a
person in the car.
The figure shows that it cellphone users were distracted more
by 40%. It really shows that having the cellular devices has a
huge impact in not only your driving skills but the safety of the
drivers around you. In the studies it does talk about the topic
of conversation does play a role but the phone is obviously
has a huge impact.

Based on the Research Summary on Distracted Driving,
develop your own research question and hypothesis that is
related to the topic. This should be something that researchers
could study next to learn more about the topic of Distracted
Driving. Tips: The research question identifies what the study
will focus on and guides the research process. The hypothesis
is based on the research question. It is a statement that

makes a prediction about the relationship among the variables
in the study (you can use If-Then statements).
Based on the research the next step I would take is then
the reaction time of a distracted driver in these situation.
Another situation is seeing if food or music have the
similar rates of distraction as cellphone users.
Step 5
With the results of the study do you personally feel that
these are close to drivers that we see today? Should we
expand the experiment for more details?
