lead to an accident, the driver should insert 
CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and 
operate the audio system only if permitted 
by road, weather and traffic conditions.Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph 
(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a 
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) 
every second.
