A new model for behavioural adaption in distracted driving

There are decades of research suggesting that drivers can compensate for distraction through behavioural adaptations such as selecting lower driving speeds, increasing road environment monitoring, decreasing lane changes, and avoiding overtaking. This research has confirmed the value of a new model for behavioural adaptation in distracted driving in explaining these phenomena. As such, the objective of this research was to characterize and evaluate the behavioural adaptation of mobile phone distracted drivers. A wide range of findings were generated, e.g. that behavioural adaptations are initiated by drivers and are not a de facto consequence of mobile phone use
