Driving devices can be dangerous too
Clark talked recently about the fact that 1.2 million people die in auto accidents worldwide each year. In the U.S., we lose about 40,000 to 50,000 year. That number may go up because of all the distracting technology being added to cars. People are apparently installing DVD monitors in cars so that the driver can watch a movie or watch TV. Many people, including Clark’s producer, Kevin, check and send e-mails while driving with PDA devices. It’s bad enough to e-mail while driving. Why would anyone think it’s a good idea to watch a movie behind the wheel? It’s dangerous to you and to everyone else on the road. The good news is that there also devices that keep people alert and attentive on the road. The “Napzapper,” for example, buzzes when your head dips below a certain point, as if you’ve dozed off. If you get beeped or buzzed, please pull off the road and either get a meal or a hotel room before you get back on the road.
