Abstract

This study sought to identify changes in driver behaviour due to handsfree telephone conversations carried out during motorway driving. 18 volunteer subjects either drove in silence or whilst completing verbal tasks on a Carphone. No evidence for a change in driving behaviour in terms of speed choice, lane occupancy, accelerator use or overtaking manoeuvres was found. However mental workload did increase. The results are presented in relation to other studies, and safety implications are discussed.
