Does Mobile Phone Usage Increase the Risk of Traffic Accidents?
by Donald Statham, Susie Smith, Elliot Penderghast, and Felicia Jones

Note: This study is part of a wider investigation conducted by Norton College psychologists. The results of this wider investigation were published in the November 2001 issue of Psychosocial Behavior Today.

The use of mobile phones has risen dramatically over the past five years. As of July 1, 2001, more than 112 million people subscribe to mobile phone service in the United States alone. The increase in the number of mobile phone subscribers has mirrored the rise in the number of roadway accidents caused by drivers talking on mobile phones. Estimates suggest that mobile phone users spend as much as 60% of their total talk time while on the road.
The complete effects of mobile phone use on roadway safety are unknown, but state legislatures have made several attempts to restrict mobile phone use on the road. In these instances, the legislation assumes that any interference to safety from mobile phones use is due to secondary factors, such as dialing, or holding the phone while speaking. We conducted our research in an attempt to evaluate the validity of this assumption.
Existing research demonstrates the handling of equipment, such as dialing the phone, answering the phone, etc., increases the risk of accident. However, this research does not elaborate on the effects that mobile phone conversation has on driving. One study finds that conversation does not hinder the ability to maintain road position or to respond quickly to hazards. Prior studies have discovered that tasks like mental arithmetic, memory tasks, and reasoning tasks produce negative effects on simulated driving.

Nell is writing a short story. Read the following excerpt.


Keisha’s heart raced as she waited for her turn to go onstage.

It looked like they may have been there a while, and one of the containers was smashed in. My sister didn’t care and was already running for a spoon. “Careful,” I said, “Where there is smoke there’s fire. These yogurts look kind of funny. And I can’t even read the expiration date.”

“You just want them for yourself,” she said, as she ripped off the wrapper. “Yikes!” she yelled, and we both held our noses.

Based on the passage from "roberto ignacio torres bakes" and the passage from "the dreamer," write an essay that explains how papi and neftalí change. this the passage
pablo neruda was a chilean poet and nobel prize winner who died in 1973. in this excerpt from a novel based on the true events of his life, we see the poet transform himself from a lonely boy named neftalí.
​
(2) neftalí sat in his room with the light of a flickering candle casting shadows on his walls and finished a new poem for claridad. now, he had a dilemma. this poem was to appear next week, not only in the university magazine but simultaneously in a santiago newspaper. father knew many people in santiago, and neftalí could not take the chance that father would discover he was disobeying him. besides that, he could not stop thinking about what father had said—that he was an embarrassment to the family.
​
(3) neftalí sighed and put down his pen. he picked up the local temuco newspaper and read an article about the works of a czech writer. to neftalí, the writer’s name seemed unusual and exotic. if only he had such a name. he wrote the last name on a small piece of paper. then he read it out loud, again and again.
​
(4) he pulled a book of italian poetry from his shelf and began to thumb through it, stopping at a page to read about a character named paolo.
​
(5) "paolo," he said, but it didn’t sound quite right. he translated the name into spanish and nodded, writing it on the paper next to the other name.
​
(6) the name was not only a perfect solution, it was a perfect fit. he picked up his pen again. at the end of his poem, instead of signing neftalí reyes, he wrote pablo neruda. he would use this name to save father the humiliation of having a son who was a poet. maybe he would use the name only until he became lost enough to find himself.
​
(7) maybe he would even keep the name. it might take him places. after all, it had a rhythm like a locomotive chugging uphill.
​
(8) the following morning, he slowly packed his belongings into a metal trunk: clothes, books, pens, and, of course, something for which he would never be too old—his sheep. he carefully sorted his collections into storage boxes, taking one box with him and taking the other to laurita’s room for safekeeping.
​
(9) he stood in the doorway and handed her the box. "do not let it go up in flames."
​
(10) she smiled. "i will guard it with my life."
​
(11) that night and throughout the next day, he rode third class in a car full of peasants. it smelled of damp wool from rain-soaked ponchos and wet feathers from unhappy chickens that had been tucked into baskets. but none of that bothered him because he was headed to a place of culture, a place with more like-minded people, where being a student and a poet would not be discouraged.
​
(12) when the train stopped, he gathered his trunk, put on a black, wide brimmed hat, and stepped onto the streets of santiago, to make his way in the world.
​
(13) there, in the obscurity of the big city, his writing was as persistent as the weather. poetry had laid down its path, and he had no choice but to follow. he wrote no matter what his circumstances: when he lived in rooms that were no larger than a cell; when he had barely enough money to eat; when he had no friends and pulled deep within himself; when his heart was broken or when he broke another’s; when he did not agree with the politics at the university or the politics of his country.
​
(14) he wrote.
