Cellphone-Using Pedestrians at Higher Risk of “Getting Run Over”

First drive , now even walk : The combination of cellphone use and motion seems to be the most dangerous menace facing Americans today .

Two new studies have shown that pedestrians using cellphones are importantly more likely to get reek by a car than anybody else . A simulation indicated that older hoi polloi are especially likely to be unhinge , even more so if they ’re unsteady on their animal foot to get down with ( so maybe call up about getting Grandma a nice large - print novel for Christmas instead of a Droid ) .

Interestingly , listening to medicine was found to have no effect on pedestrian rubber , which I ’d like to personally refute . I can say without a incertitude that while heed to sealed euphony ( Spank Rock , I ’m looking at you ) , I am noticeably more cocky and likely to get hit by a car while strutting across a interfering street . But then , I ’m not a scientist ; thus , I trust the results of these studies and will retain to blast loud , filthy whack medicine while ignore all pedestrian laws and guideline . [ LabSpaces ]
