Are not we all a bit addicted to Whatsapp? Whether in the morning in bed, on the way to work or in the evening in bed - we are always typing. One place we should definitely forgo the messenger service is the car. Mobile phone bans at the wheel have a good reason, as the Landesverkehrswacht Niedersachsen eV shows in a shocking video. See the clip titled "Tap kills" in the clip. Obviously, an obviously busy mom picks up her cell phone when shopping for groceries and briefly writes a message to her daughter. She is late, says the message. Comes so familiar to us, because we are quite glad to be late and Whatsapp is still the best way to give a short notice.
But that's not the end of the Whatsapp conversation in the video. As Mom gets in the car and gets behind the wheel, Mom and Daughter continue writing. The little daughter, who is waiting in front of the school and gets bored, proposes to go to her mother. Said, done - which almost ends in a deadly catastrophe, as the typing mother evades her roadside daughter at the last moment.
Luckily. Not everyone has such good luck in real life: since 2013, the number of traffic fatalities in Germany has steadily increased. Distraction by the mobile phone is one of the factors that lead to fatal road accidents.
