The Hong Kong Medical Association(HKMA)Council discussed in a meeting the problem of using mobile phones while driving. The following prints were recorded.
e is now objective scientific information, most recently from Toronto, showing that the
risk of bringing about traffic accidents rises fourfold if a mobile phone is used while driving.
2. Hands-off models of mobile phones are no safer than hands-on models.
3. Switzerland, Israel, Brazil and some states in Australia now have laws banning the use of
telephones while driving motor vehicles. The Council also recorded that mobile phones serve a special socio-economic function in Hong Kong, such as operation of goods vans and taxis, and forbidding their use by law immediately may disrupt(扰乱)important aspects of our socio-economic life. We doubt whether the low figure of 1--3 traffic accidents per year locally occurring while a motorist was using a mobile phone, as offered by the Secretary for Economic Services Mr. Stetpen Pritt, was systematically collected.
The HKMA Council strongly advised that:
1. Drivers of all motor vehicles in Hong Kong should stop their vehicles in safe places when
they wish to use their mobile phones.
2. The government should seriously consider adding an additional charge of driving without
due care and heavier punishments on drivers connecting with traffic accidents while using mobile phones.
3. Statistics on mobile-phone-induced traffic accidents should be collected systematically
without delay. If necessary, the police may be empowered to cross-check with phone companies whether the driver' s phone was in use at the time of a traffic accident.
