STREET SMART RICHARD SIMON
Reaching' Out by Car Phone Sometimes Is a Little Risky
A ttention, you (fill in your favorite expletive) in the
(choose one: Beamer, Mercedes, Lexus) cutting in
and out of traffic on the ( fill in any freeway) with
one hand on the wheel and the other cradling the car
phone to your ear.
So what if there is no law requiring drivers to keep
both hands —or even one hand —on the wheel? Your
chances of causing an accident increase if you're dialing
the office from the fast lane. So says a study —yes,
someone conducted a study — titled, "The Effect of
Cellular Phone Use Upon Driver Attention."
Commissioned by the AAA Foundation for Traffic
Safety, the study found even casual chitchat on the car
phone is distracting — though it is no more so than
changing the station on the radio.
Older drivers were twice as likely to be distracted as
younger drivers. Overall, the "relative increase in
chances of a highway traffic situation going unnoticed'
ranged from approximately 20% for placing a call in
simple conversations to 29% for complex
conversations," the 1991 study found.
That's not to say car phones are all bad. The author of
the AAA report confessed that he bought a car phone for
his wife for emergencies.
Indeed, car phones have been used to report
carjackings, drunk drivers and traffic accidents —and in
the case of the most famous freeway car chase, keep in
touch with O.J. Simpson.
T he California Highway Patrol last year received
more than 2 million cellular phone calls reporting'
freeway emergencies, compared to 29,000 a decade ago.
It is not unusual for the CHP to receive dozens of calls
reporting the same problem.
Car phone companies donate equipment to schools for
use in driver education classes. And make - believe car
phones are available for those who cannot afford the real
ones.
But car phones have become enough of a concern that
the CHP has issued safety tips such as: "Do not take
notes or look up phone numbers while driving."
The National Highway Traffic and Safety
Administration has no statistics on how many accidents
are caused by chatty drivers but reports that driver
inattention and distraction cause a quarter of all crashes.
Administrator Richard Martinez recently said that
while the agency plans to study the impact of phone use
on driving, there is anecdotal evidence that cellular
phone use, particularly the act of dialing, can have a
significant impact on driver attention.
Mike Houghton, spokesman for the Cellular
Telecommunications Industry Assn. in Washington, said
that a University of Michigan study showed that
drinking coffee while driving or changing a tape cassette -
was more distracting than talking on the car phone.
Houghton stressed that a moving car is no place to
engage in a heated conversation. Pull over, he
recommends. "A high -speed highway is no place to be
breaking up a relationship."
CHP Officer Gretchen Jacobs said she has spotted
Please see STREET, B3
10
STREET: Distractions for Drivers
Continued from BI
motorists "displaying the driving pattern of an
intoxicated driver," drifting out of their lane.
When she has gotten closer, the officer said, she
has found drivers on-car phones.
"I have stopped people and written them
citations for stopping in the center divider to make
their phone calls," she added.
CHP Commissioner Maury Hannigan urged in a
recent speech to the cellular phone trade group
that the industry work with the Highway Patrol in
developing instructions for car phone users on how
to report an emergency, including what is and isn't
an emergency
Some states are experimenting with a secondary
number, such as STAR -HP, as a way of separating
the "real emergencies" (a medical emergency, a
crime, a suspected drunk driver and anyone or
anything blocking a traffic lane, including a dog in
the freeway) from the "not -quite emergencies" (a
hitchhiker on the shoulder and a disabled vehicle
on the side of the road during daylight hours).
Officers recommend that drivers buy hands -free
car phones. (They are the only kind allowed in
some countries. )
But legislators in this country have shied away
from regulating their use. Some states have
proposed requiring drivers to use voice - activated
phones or pull over to the side before using their
phones. They have not gotten very far, considering
politicians are among the biggest car phone users.
• Florida woman has a unique suggestion:
• three -day waiting period for the purchase of a
car phone by men.
"No offense guys," Margaret Harper wrote in a
letter to the Orlando Sentinel. "But you really need
to concentrate on one thing at a time. Women can
drive a car, talk on the phone, apply makeup and
referee the kids while dinner defrosts in the trunk.
Men need to limit themselves to one activity at a
time. Check out the tie of a man who tries to
converse at dinner. It has spots all over it."
The AAA, cellular phone industry and CHP offer
tips on safe use of car phones:
• Before you get behind the wheel, read the
phone's instruction manual and familiarize your-
self with the location and function of the phone's
buttons.
• Pull off the road before dialing.
• Have your vehicle fitted with a hands -free or
speaker phone.
• Pull off the freeway if the conversation
becomes intense, or a business call requires note
taking. Do not pull onto the shoulder.
• Dial when stopped if possible. Learn to operate
the phone without looking at it. If a number is not
programmed and all the digits must be entered,
dial in short segments: enter one or two numbers,
check the traffic, then dial one or two more.

Electric CAr Pledses Drivers s
but Range Worries Some
■ Automobiles: Testers, say GM's Impact met
their daily driving needs 83% of the time.
By MICHAEL PARRISH
TIMES STAFF WRITER
The first real -world tests of
the General Motors Impact,
Detroit's most advanced proto-
type of a commercial electric
car, show that Los Angeles -ar-
ea drivers were impressed by
the car's performance but wor-
ried about running out of juice
because of the restricted range,
according to data released to-
day by the auto maker and two
sponsoring electric utilities.
Seventy -nine drivers in
Southern California used the
electric car as their primary
vehicle for from two to four
weeks at a stretch and reported
that it met their daily driving
needs 83% of the time.
"The car is very easy :_to
drive; it's not frightening. And
it made me feel very clean"
there's no oil, no smell, no
sound," said Mark Caplow la
West Los Angeles real estate
developer who drove a car lbrit
by the Los Angeles Depart-
ment of Water and Power.
Caplow and other drivers bl%
lieve that more public chargiffg
facilities would make up for the
limited range.
Recharging costs were 3.75
cents a mile and as low as L41
cents, if charged at night when
electricity is cheaper to gener-
ate. That is significantly less
than gasoline, which was 'dit
average of 5.3 cents a miWin

CAR: Drivers Pleased But Worried Over Range
Continued from D2
California. The fuel figure does not
include the cost of replacing the
electric vehicle's battery pack,
however.
The generally optimistic results
bear on one of the central argu-
ments raging between the big auto
makers and California regulators,
who have mandated that beginning
in 1998, 2% of the new cars offered
in California showrooms by seven
companies must be zero -emis-
sion — almost certainly electric ve-
hicles.
Car makers question whether
there is a market for electric vehi-
cles, considering their limitations.
The Impact, which has the acceler-
ation and handling. of a sports car,
has a 70- to 90 -mile range. Propo-
nents have argued that consumers
would even pay a premium for
electric cars.
Doris Ehlers, a partner at Wood-
land Hills -based J.D. Power &.
Associates, the auto- industry re-
search firm, said the results raised.
questions about whether battery -
powered cars could serve as the
sole family car.
"Most consumers depend heavily
on their automobile," she said,
"and if something only meets their
needs 83% of the time, does that
mean we are only looking at a
second vehicle ?"
