ARRB's Dr Anna Chevalier, Principal Technology Leader, Transport Safety, has appeared on Steve Martin's breakfast show on ABC Local Radio Ballarat to discuss ARRB's involvement with a Driver Distraction study.

The NTC recently released a consultation regulation impact statement (RIS) seeking feedback on technology-neutral options to regulate driver distraction.

To support the NTC’s efforts in stimulating discussions about driver distraction research, policy and legislative reform options, ARRB's Dr Anna Chevalier, Rachel Goodsell and Mitch Cunningham reviewed internationally published, peer-reviewed research available to date on the risks associated with driver distraction.
