Juggling a Zoom call and Texas traffic? It’s a recipe for disaster. Here’s Texas attorney Ryan Orsatti to expose the hidden dangers lurking behind multitasking on the road:
Distraction Disaster: Eyes on the Road, Not the Screen!
- Taking your eyes off the road, even for a second, can have catastrophic consequences. Zoom calls divert your attention, increasing your accident risk exponentially. Remember, distracted driving is a serious offense in Texas.
- Cognitive Overload: Zoom calls demand mental focus. Juggling a conversation while driving strains your brain, making you miss crucial details on the road like brake lights or pedestrians crossing the street.
The Deceptive Danger of Hands-Free:
Don’t be fooled by “hands-free.” Engaging in a virtual meeting, even with a headset, diverts your attention from the critical task of driving. Your focus should be solely on the road, not a virtual conference room.
Employer Liability: Don’t Take the Fall Alone
Texas employers beware! Encouraging or requiring employees to participate in Zoom calls while driving for work purposes can hold them liable if an accident occurs.
