Today we live in a highly technological and car-oriented society. Car access has achieved noticeable developments and grown on a worldwide level. Along with the social benefits of the automobile, it is a widely known fact that major accidents and loss of life are occurring at increasing rates in almost every society today.This paper describes the effect of using a mobile phone on a driver's reaction time was evaluated experimentally by measuring the movement of the driver's eye-fixation point and his reaction time when a stimulus light was shines on his face from inside or outside the car.The results showed that using a mobile phone while driving (1) reduces the movement of the eye-fixation point to both the right and to the left, thus narrowing the range of the fixation point, and (2) delayed the reaction time by about 0.2 seconds. It also proposed the desirable position of setting up a visual display.
