ExxonMobile employees not allowed to use mobile phones while driving
We all know the situation - someone in front of us is suddenly driving slower, swerving from left to right - is the driver drunk? No, it didn't appear to be like this before. In fact, the mobile phone rang - and the driver is scrambling to get it out from the pouch and on to the ear.
ExxonMobile is putting a stop to it - according to statements they forbid their employees to use the mobile phone while driving. Argument?
"With the pervasiveness of mobile phones in recent years, we felt we needed to put some requirements in place for the good of our employees and the communities in which we operate."
This is great, since they also found out that "that drivers using cell phones were found to have a braking reaction time three times longer than drivers under the influence of alcohol, and a fourfold increase in risk compared to not using a cell phone."
So - don't drive and yak, okay?
