Good article from USA Today, Car distractions, about an important, but overlooked driver distraction: text on car dashboards.
From the article:
- "Some text on car dashboards distract more than others."
- "Text size and type font used in dashboard displays may be overlooked culprits in distracted driving."
- "Of the nearly 900,000 crashes involving distracted driving reported to police in 2010, 26,000 involved adjusting devices or controls in a car, says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)."
- "NHTSA's proposed guidelines require all dashboard functions to be possible with one or more two-second glances away from the road."
