Legislation in the road transport domain aims to control safety on the roads. Despite this, a critical issue affecting road safety is that of driver distraction. Although poorly defined, distraction is a significant road safety issue which, in part, is caused by the prevalence of technology within vehicles. Legislation surrounding the use of in-vehicle technologies are explored in this paper from a socio-technical system perspective. This reveals the wider context of the road transport system operating under the current laws using an Accimap analysis. A distinction in the law between the use of hand-held mobile phones, a device that is typically banned for use by drivers worldwide, and the use of other technological devices that are covered by more general laws against 'careless' and/or 'dangerous' driving was found. Historically, individual drivers' have been blamed for distraction, whereas the systems approach shows how current legislation may have created the conditions necessary for driver distraction.
道路运输领域的立法旨在控制道路安全。尽管如此，影响道路安全的一个关键问题是驾驶员分心。虽然定义不明确，但分心是一个重大的道路安全问题，部分原因是车辆内技术的普及。本文从社会技术系统的角度探讨了围绕车载技术使用的立法。这通过Accimap分析揭示了在现行法律下运行的道路运输系统的更广泛背景。研究发现，法律对使用手持移动电话（一种在全球范围内通常禁止驾驶员使用的设备）和使用其他受更普遍的“粗心”和/或“危险”驾驶法律涵盖的技术设备进行了区分。从历史上看，个人驾驶员一直被指责分心，而系统方法则表明了现行立法如何可能创造了驾驶员分心所需的条件。
