Unlike many similar countries, New Zealand has no specific legislation restricting the use of cell phones in vehicles. Several factors suggest that legislation may be introduced in the near future. This study provided a benchmark for current cell phone use among motorists. A total of 8,700 drivers of cars were observed for cell phone use as they passed a fixed location in Auckland. Cell phone use was double that of an Australian city, where cell phones are banned. Use of a cell phone while driving was similarly likely in male and female drivers.
与许多类似国家不同，新西兰没有限制在车辆中使用手机的具体立法。有几个因素表明，不久的将来可能会出台相关立法。本研究为当前驾车者使用手机的情况提供了一个基准。在奥克兰的一个固定地点观察了总共8700名汽车司机的手机使用情况。手机使用率是澳大利亚一个禁止使用手机的城市的两倍。男性和女性司机在开车时使用手机的可能性相似。
