Driver Distraction
with
Robyn Blackburn
Driver distraction is often
the initial factor in a chain of
events that lead to a crash,
and was identified as the
cause of more than 1000 car
crashes causing injury or
death in New Zealand in 2018.
There are many potential causes of driver
distraction, but drivers using mobile phones in a
vehicle is a significant cause of driver distraction.
Mobile phones are well and truly interwoven into
our daily life. We use them for everything - including
when we’re driving.
This week Marlborough District Council road safety
coordinator Robin Blackburn chats about the
impact driver distraction has on the safety of our
roads and shares how passengers and drivers can
both help reduce driver distraction.
We all know using your mobile
phone while driving is illegal, but CHANGE me ke

Using mobile phones while driving is a significant cause
of driver distraction.
Four of the top five most common distracted driving
activities can now be done on a smart phone – texting,
talking on a mobile phone, using a GPS or navigation
system and adjusting music.
This is reflected in crash statistics. Driver distraction
was identified as a contributing factor in 12 fatal
crashes, 155 serious injury crashes and 956 minor
injury crashes in New Zealand in 2018.
During 2018 and 2019 there were 111 crashes that Ignore your car cacophony. Make sure you concentrate

on a full NZ licence, so you can’t blame our bad crash statistics on foreign drivers or learner
drivers alone!
What can people do to avoid being distracted while driving?
Notifications can divert your attention from the road, even if you don’t intend to look at your phone,
so turning your phone off or putting it in flight mode and popping it in the glovebox or in your bag
before starting up your car is a great place to start.

Remove the temptation to even look at your phone!

Their initial thought was to
release an album, Tannock said.
‘‘But we’re a little band based

Instead, they had decided to
