Try this: Next time you are driving and waiting for a red light, see how many drivers around you are not looking at the road ahead? (Of course, you have to put down your phone temporarily, raise your head, and look outside to see it.) I have paid attention to it a few times, it is too lively. Some people keep swiping their phones up and down (probably checking WeChat), some loosen their seat belts and lean sideways to pick up things (their phones slipped off), some laugh at their phones (my friends just forwarded a joke), some are anxious and frantically poking their phones (most likely grabbing red envelopes), and one person is holding the phone in one hand and making gestures with the other hand off the steering wheel. It is really varied.

Enter the keyword "head-down drivers" in Baidu or other search tools to see how many links you can get. It must be more than six digits. Maybe this will give you some comfort ---head-down drivers are not a problem unique to China, it is a problem faced by the world. All countries feel helpless about this. There are too many reports online about car accidents caused by distraction from playing with mobile phones. The most amazing case was a bus driver in Nanjing. The driving record showed that he took out his phone 4 times and looked down 39 times in 7 minutes, which resulted in a car accident. I won't go into details about how dangerous it is to be distracted while driving. The question is what should we do?
Some people are optimistic and believe that the era of driverless driving will come soon. It will be so cool then, playing from beginning to end without interruption. But when will this era of bliss come? Ten years? How many car accidents will happen in these ten years!
Many people think that traffic rules must keep up. Now in many places, it is against traffic rules to make phone calls without hands-free while driving. Even if other mobile phone games are not allowed by traffic rules, it is not easy for law enforcement to verify. If you secretly like a photo that your friend just uploaded, it is difficult for the traffic police to prove that you did it unless there is a special instrument. Now there is a magic tool called textalyzer, which has not yet been named in Chinese. It can help traffic police detect the driver's mobile phone usage, but it cannot see the detailed content and will not infringe on the driver's personal privacy. In New York, legislators have strongly recommended the use of textalyzer. In the near future, when you are stopped on the roadside, the traffic police will come with a breathalyser in one hand and a textalyzer in the other.

I believe that no driver wants to get into a car accident, and most of them are aware of the dangers of distracted driving. Why do so many people still do this? Can't they just stop playing? This involves an important topic in behavioral economics: self-control. People have a weak resistance to immediate pleasure, but are numb to possible negative consequences in the future. Although distracted mobile phone use is dangerous, in the eyes of drivers, the probability of an accident is low and it is a matter of the future. You just posted a beautiful selfie you took on the beach to a group, and the comments in the group can give you instant satisfaction, making you unable to resist. So it is easier said than done to ask the "head-down people" to stop playing. The head-down people themselves swear that they will not play in the future, but they are not reliable. What should we do?
I have to tell you a story from the "Iliad". After winning the Trojan War, Odysseus and his crew were returning home and needed to pass by the Siren's residence. The sirens' singing was sweet and enchanting. The crew would be fascinated by the singing and follow the singing, crashing into the reef and dying. When Odysseus was at a loss, the witch Circe offered him a plan: plug the ears of all his crew members with wax, and then let the crew tie Odysseus to the mast. Odysseus adopted her plan, and finally he and his crew safely passed the dangerous pass while listening to the song.

According to behavioral economics analysis, Circe's plan used two tools of self-control. For Odysseus' crew, she removed the temptation. They couldn't hear, and the sirens' singing could not seduce them no matter how beautiful it was. For Odysseus himself, she restricted his actions. Tied to the mast, he couldn't follow the singing even if he wanted to.
