Given that fact, the Canadian government and the Insurance Bureau of Canadian are educating Canadians about the dangers of distractions while driving with what is known as the D.U.M.B. car (Distractions Undermining Motorist Behaviour) simulator on the road. Great name, sure to get attention.
Students who get the opportunity to test the simulator, will find that destractions such as eating, drinking, using cell phone, applying makeup and texting while driving, have a enormous impact on one's ability to react when rapid reaction is called for. It is a wake-up call that the government a hoping people will heed. For those who take the test,their results will be posted on website at www.besmartsafe.ca
