Abstract EN
Mobile phone use is one of the most common daily tasks and this is normal, however, this task could be problematic while driving.
The use of mobile phoneswhile driving has become a major cause of road accidents and poses a threat topublic health.
This study investigated the effect of mobile phone usage whiledriving on response time, as it investigated four mobile phone tasks (hands-freecalling, hand calls, reading text messages, and sending text messages) in additionto basic driving.
A total of 42 participants, ranging in age from (19 to 55), with amean age (mean = 33.14, SD = 10.26) participated in the driving simulation at theUniversity of Technology and all participants performed five tasks.
Theparticipants had to interact with voice commands by performing the throttlemaneuver.
The results concluded with a delay in response, which means anincrease in cognitive reaction time when using a mobile phone compared to basicdriving.
It has also been found that the response time increases with the age Mobile phone use is one of the most common daily tasks and this is normal, however, this task could be problematic while driving.
