“…Haigney et al [8] observed compensatory behaviour with drivers driving at higher speeds after call compared to those before call, a phenomenon which may increase the risk attributed to mobile phone even more. Reaction time increases with mobile phone use [5,6,12,13,[15][16][17][18][19][20]. In addition to the increased mean reaction time an increase in the minimum, maximum, and standard deviation values has also been observed.…”

“…The effect of mobile phone use on driving behaviour is also dependent on several exogenous and endogenous parameters. Exogenous parameters include type of road, that is, whether it is urban, rural, or motorway [6,12], speed limit [10], prevailing traffic flow [19], weather conditions [26], time of day [16], driver age [17,27], and gender [27]. Endogenous parameters include conversation complexity [5,7,13,18,28] and use mode, that is, whether it is handheld, hands-free (use of wired earphones), Bluetooth, or the speaker mode.…”

Mobile phone use while driving is a major cause of driver distraction, affecting driving performance and increasing accident risk. Governments have responded to this with the implementation of legislation prohibiting the use of mobile phones, under specific conditions, mainly adopting the hands-free use. Still, mobile phone is a cause of several types of distraction rather than just manual. This study explores the effect of mobile phone use while driving via a simulator experiment. Participants drive under various types of mobile phone use mode- namely, handheld, hands-free (wired earphone), and speaker to capture this effect. Results highlight the effect of mobile phone use, regardless of the use mode, on driving behaviour through specific indicators: maximum driving speed, reaction time, and lateral position. In particular, considering the aforementioned parameters the handheld mode demonstrates safer driving behaviour compared to the speaker mode. The results of this study stress the need for a reconsideration of the present legislation.

“…Similar findings were verified after cellular phone usage or during conversation with a passenger. Al-Darrab, Khan, and Ishrat (2009) and Haque and Washington (2014) state similar results in relation to the reaction time. The authors mention similar negative effects of both hands-held phone and hands-free device on reaction time.…”

The main goal of the present study was to determine the differences in the reaction time after visual stimulation while listening to different volumes of background music. Another goal of the study was to compare the reaction times (simple reaction time-SRT and choice reaction time-CRT) measured when using a smartphone and hands-free. The research sample consisted of 75 sports active students (35 men of 24±2.1 years and 40 women of 23±3.3 years). The values of the reaction time were identified using the Fitro Agility Check and Fitro Reaction systems. Tested subjects had to react via arm or leg movements in a seated position to the visual stimuli. The results show that the reaction time during the entrance test and tests during which the tested subjects were exposed to interfering sounds of 60 and 90 dB showed no significant differences in SRT. Tested subjects reacted significantly faster to four stimuli while listening to music at 90 dB. When the smartphone was used, the SRT and the CRT both worsened. The results of the study can be used in practice when people are exposed to audial stimuli during physical activity. The results and outcomes of the study can be useful for preparing athletes before their performances in sport disciplines in which a fast reaction is an important variable of their performance. The results, which showed a decrease in reaction time during the use of a hands-held phone and a hands-free, can be useful in everyday activities of people (e.g., driving a car).

“…What was considered as general RT before MT (e.g., Al-Darrab et al, 2009;Martin et al, 2010) in assisted driving condition could be actually divided in two different steps (step A and step B), that are influenced in different way by anticipatory information induced by the warning system. Assisted driving gaze response time and driver's facial expression display can be introduced inside the measuring process of brake reaction task to discriminate driver's expectations, and could be used to study the monitoring task that do not necessarily require a movement time or a brake response.…”
