Cultural comparison of distracted drivers subject of study

Distracted driving is a worldwide problem, says professor Chris Lee, and preventing it is of global importance for improved road safety.

“There has been a startling rise in the number of fatal and seriously injured collisions linked to the widespread use of electronic gadgets in automobiles,” he says.

Dr. Lee, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Master’s student Larissa Dushime are collaborating with civil engineering professor Nicola Baldo at the University of Udine to compare driver behaviours in Canada and Italy.
