Driven to Distraction: Garmin Reveals What’s Really Taking Our Attention Off the Road. #RoadSafety

With attention turning to road safety this week, Garmin, which has a rich heritage in automotive products created with safety in mind, is taking the opportunity to highlight the profound impact of distraction on driving.

The Department for Transport reported that 117,536 accidents took place in 2019 (that’s 1 in every 326 cars on Britain’s roads). The main reasons for these include drivers failing to look properly (39.9%) and driving carelessly, recklessly or in a hurry (15.5%). With traffic increasing to pre-pandemic levels on the road, this Road Safety Week, Garmin and Emma Kenny want to draw attention to some of the biggest distractions to be aware of when driving and some tips to combat these.

Listening to loud music and changing radio stations
While it may be tempting to think music helps you concentrate; loud music is distracting. A research study discovered that loud music delayed people’s reaction times by 20%, Your favourite songs provoke a sense of nostalgia, which can result in daydreaming.

  • “Opt for soothing piano sounds and classical soundtracks. These have been proven to help produce a state of mental flow which will mean you are relaxed and focused,” said Kenny. “Travelling quietly will give you an important solitude that we rarely achieve in modern life. Use this space for mindful practice where you attend fully to the task at hand and allow yourself the gift of the present, a technique that reduces stress and anxiety and promotes a sense of wellbeing.”

Children in the car
We are hard-wired to both protect our children and attend to their needs. Even playing games on their smart technology introduces noise distraction.

  • “Encourage your children to use earphones with their digital devices and suggest they listen to audiobooks. This will relax them whilst engaging their brains in divergent thinking, which is excellent for their brains and for promoting a peaceful journey,” said Kenny. “Plan rewards for long journeys as this will help children focus on their behaviour positively. Agree on the reward before you set off, so you have a common goal in mind.”

Eating and drinking
A study by the University of Leeds found that when people consumed food while driving, their reaction time was 44% slower than normal. Concentrating on opening sandwiches or trying not to spill the coffee means you’re not fully concentrating on the road ahead.

  • “Factor in time during your journey to stop and enjoy your meal – perhaps even choosing a nice view or park to sit and unwind in while you eat.”

Rubber necking
This is a human trait associated with morbid curiosity. There are several distracting elements at play here – you and the drivers around you slowing down to look (which is dangerous on a busy road) and less people paying attention to the road ahead.

  • “When approaching a crash site, drive defensively. Be aware of your surroundings and assume other drivers will break the rules. If you must reduce speed, do so with awareness, use turn signals and be prepared to manoeuvre away from distracted drivers. The key is to concentrate on what you can control as opposed to what you cannot,” said Kenny.

Feeling disorganised

Feeling disorganised can impact our levels of distraction. Struggling to remember an address, locate a wallet, or having a sudden realisation that an important meeting has been forgotten is highly distracting.

  • “Plan, and prepare before you leave, as this will mean you feel in charge of your journey and at ease with how you are going to arrive at your destination. Execute the extra 15 rule where you leave 15 minutes earlier than you need so that you are not worried about being late and if you need a break you have factored these into your route. Also try writing a travel checklist list before you start your journey and tick these off before you start your engine” advised Kenny.

 

Mobile Phone Usage
Perhaps obvious, but still important to address. Phone use by drivers has been legally regulated for some time. But more surprising is the extent of their impact – to the point where a drunk driver is more aware of their surroundings than an individual taking a phone call.

  • “Complex phone conversations affect visual scanning and reduce a driver’s ability to detect, discriminate among and respond to visual targets by as much as 30 percent.” 

Many of us use mobile phones in our cars for navigation, but having your phone set up on a mount puts potential distractions in plain view. By using a dedicated Sat Nav, like the Garmin Drive series, you will still be able to have your journey planned for you, but without the notifications. Features such as live traffic and weather, and alerts for sharp curves, speed changes and school zones also help to increase your awareness of what’s going on around you. And, with voice control, you don’t even need to look at your sat nav.

Discover the Garmin automotive range at https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/c/automotive and see how Sat Nav and Dash Cam products can remove a layer of distraction and help you concentrate on the most important job – getting to your destination safely.

GameSir Announce their updated VX2 AimBox with 3.5mm and PS5 Support

Finally experience the accuracy and precision of PC gaming on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

GameSir, the developer of industry leading, high-performance gaming peripherals, are pleased to announce the release of the GameSir VX2 AimBox. The multi-compatible keyboard & mouse adapter is designed to help console gamers take control of their playing-style by merging the benefits of PC gaming with the comfort of consoles.

With the ability of increased movement and precision aiming, PC gaming has often been associated with faster, more intense gameplay styles. As console gamers join in the fun online, and more PC gamers decide to ditch their dusty towers for a more comfortable gaming lifestyle on console, it’s important that they have all the tools in their arsenal to compete. The GameSir VX2 is a useful and powerful solution, that provides console gamers the option to maximise comfort and outperform their competition.

The updated VX2 Aimbox comes with additional support for the PlayStation 5 and introduces new 3.5mm audio support – a feature that many of the ‘footstep’ savvy listeners out there will be sure to appreciate.

Recognising the growing importance of exclusive games on PlayStation 5, and the increasing cross-compatibility between platforms for online games like Fortnite, Call of Duty and more, GamesSir wanted to make sure that users could have the option of using a keyboard and mouse. As a result, alongside existing compatibility with Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, the VX2 is now compatible with PS5 games when using Sony licensed third-party controllers.

Alongside this, GameSir have introduced audio support for the VX2. Being able to effectively communicate with your teammates and immerse yourself in the soundscape of a game can be half of the fun and, in some games, half of your performance. So, the VX2 now includes a 3.5mm audio input that allows users to plug in and chat with their friends and listen to in-game sounds. Unfortunately, this feature is, however, not yet compatible with PS5.

As well as improving the VX2, GameSir have also retained the reliable charm of the original version. With three USB ports and Agility Translator Technology, movements are conveyed with 1:1 gaming accuracy helping gamers avoid unwanted latency issues and, ultimately, react more consistently in-game.

Keeping it’s sturdy, reliable construction the updated VX2 keeps its durable injection-moulded casing. And, under the hood, sandwiched between the motherboard and the outer wall, you’ll find a solid counterweight designed to keep the product firmly on the table. With four additional anti-slip silicone feet that prevent any surprising slippages during intense sessions, gamers can be reassured that one misplaced slap of the table won’t send their VX2 flying across the room.

To provide gamers with even more options to customise their experience, the updated VX2 is also compatible with the GameSir App. Using bluetooth, gamers can fine-tune their mouse, camera, joystick, keybinds and lighting settings with the tap of a button on their smartphones. This especially helps with moving between games, when your setup and configuration may need to be tweaked in order to suit different play-styles or gameplay mechanics – a shoot ‘em up, for example, needs very different settings from a platforming game.

With some welcome improvements, the updated VX2 continues to allow console gamers to enjoy a PC Gaming experience from the comfort of their living room.

The GameSir VX2 is available for £44.55 ($59.99) and comes with one Micro USB Cable, a Type-C Cable and a GameSir sticker.

6 Ways Technology Can Help Your Business Grow

Technology is growing in leaps and bounds, and it can help your business achieve substantial growth as well. There are many ways in which you can utilize technological advances to your benefit when it comes to gaining clients for your business. If you have a small business and have been trying to find ways to increase your client base, then these technological advances in the globalization of the markets can be to your benefit.

 

Here are 6 tips to utilize technology to its fullest, increase your online presence, and in turn increase your profits!

1. Customer Service Applications

It is very rare nowadays for people to NOT use their smartphones for commerce purposes. Whether they are searching online for their needs, placing orders, or contacting customer support, they choose to do so increasingly through smartphone technology. If your business doesn’t have a self-serve phone application, then now is the time to start thinking about developing one. If you have a convenient mobile application that your customers can download, they are more likely to use your services.

2. Ease of Use for Customers

Ensuring that your customers are happy is a huge priority when it comes to business management and organization. One way that technology can improve your customer experience is by allowing online payments and customer account management. If you cannot process credit and debit cards, and only accept cash or transfers, customers will be less likely to use your services. Ensuring that your customers can easily order, pay, and manage their accounts will make a world of difference for your business.

3. PPC Online Marketing

Globalization of the market is a huge change that comes along with technological advancements. Not only can you advertise your products and services far and wide, but you can also utilize your website to increase earnings by selling advertising space on your webpage. This is a great way that you can generate more income, and also offer your clients new and innovative suggestions, thereby helping other businesses. Many businesses have great success with white label PPC services, increasing profits and using this technology to help drive the market while retaining their own brand. PPC advertising is pay-per-click advertising, meaning every time one of your customers clicks on this advertisement, you get paid!

4. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization relates to the algorithms that introduce customers to prospective businesses when they search their needs online via engines such as Google or Yahoo. If your SEO is working well for you, that means you will be a top-rated recommendation when clients search for products or services that match what you have to offer.

 

SEO relates to the keywords and links you have contained on your websites, so your content is key. If you put Search Engine Optimization to work for you, and spend the time to ensure your online content is appropriate, then you will find more and more business coming to your website via customer searches. Ensuring that your website is chock-full of the necessary content and keywords to make you a top recommended search result can have your business growing in no time.

5. Technology and Efficiency

Utilizing top-notch technology for your business can mean any number of things. From your invoicing to record-keeping to ways of communication, implementing new and improved technology within your business can increase your work efficiency and productivity. Handling your invoicing by hand can be a tiresome process, with accumulations of files that can reduce your ability to respond to queries and cause errors that efficient software can avoid. From accounting software to customer servicing, there are several technological advancements that you can implement within your business that will lead to faster and more efficient work.

6. Online Presence to Increase Client Leads

Using technology to increase your online presence, such as using social media to advertise, can be a great use of technology. Consumers are very plugged in to social media, and ensuring you have a solidified online presence can help draw website visits, and increase your prospective client base. Even if you are not very active on social media in your personal life, it can be a great technology to use to help your business grow.

 

Technology doesn’t have to be complicated, and using it to your advantage can be a great move to make for your business. Ensuring that you are utilizing the right type of technology for your business can dramatically change the way you view and organize your business, leaving you free to service your customers and increase your profits. Take these suggestions into account and implement new technologies, you won’t be sorry that you did!

Tips on Becoming an Irish Citizen

A lot of people want to become Irish citizens for so many reasons. Some want to live in Ireland as immigrants, while some want to work in the country. Others also want to study in Irish schools and universities, among many others. Whatever their reasons are, holding an Irish Passport is a fantastic thing that will open many opportunities for them, not only as immigrants but also as citizens.

For one, once you are a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, you can be allowed to travel around the Schengen area without needing a separate visa to do so. As a member of the European Union, it is one of their many privileges as Irish citizens. With Brexit, Ireland became more critical than ever. It is one of the few states where English is spoken as an official language.

The only tip on becoming an Irish citizen is through naturalization. Another one would be through birth or descent, which is more accessible to those who have Irish blood on their veins. If you are a totally non-Irish person, being a citizen of Ireland requires you to undergo the naturalization process.

 However, even though the process is smooth sailing, many people stumble upon small roadblocks that delay their citizenship process. Hence, here are some tips that you can follow to have a smooth and more streamlined journey towards your much-coveted Irish citizenship.

Tips on Becoming an Irish Citizen

#1: Check if you have any Irish blood.

One of the easy ways to become an Irish citizen is to check if you are qualified for citizenship by birth or descent. That means if you are born in Ireland to Irish parents or any of your parents are Irish, you can quickly get your Irish citizenship without submitting a lot of documents in the process.

However, remember that your Irish ancestry or associations should be strong enough to let you become an official Irish citizen since distant relatives don’t usually count.

#2: Complete all the required documents for naturalization. 

The entire naturalization process for those who want to become Irish passport holders may be simple. Yet, it has a lot of requirements for the procedure. One tip that the authorities usually tell the applicants is that they should complete all the required documents before proceeding with the application. The more complete your records are, the faster the process will be for you.

#3: Prepare for citizenship fees.

 Becoming an Irish citizen is not necessarily complicated, but you must be prepared financially in the process. You will be asked to pay €175 for the processing fee. If you finally qualify for Irish citizenship, you will be asked to pay an additional fee for your certificate from the Citizenship Ceremony, which can cost up to €950 for regular applications. Thus, be financially prepared by saving enough money for your processing fees since it is not easy to earn hundreds of euros for fees.

#4: Fill out the proper forms.

The Irish naturalization process requires you to fill out an application form to process your application. Many forms cater to other categories, such as minors, widowers, refugees, and regular applications. Always check your application forms before submitting them in the INIS to avoid any hassle that you might encounter if you fill out the wrong forms.

You can download the forms online through their website and accomplish them carefully. Then, sign them in front of a witness, such as a Notary Public or a Peace Commissioner before you can take them to INIS with you to process the application.

#5: Keep your old passports and other documents with you.

One of the requirements for Irish naturalization is the original copy of your current passport and the other passports you used while you were living in the country. You need this proof that you are a legal citizen with the proper documentation to live in Ireland peacefully as an immigrant. This will make the entire process much easier for you since you have supporting proof that you have lived a peaceful life in the country before your citizenship application.

Conclusion

Applying for Irish citizenship is a long process. But, if you comply with the authorities with the proper documents, your application process will be much smoother. Then, soon after, you can enjoy your Irish citizenship and your brand-new Irish passport with no worries and hassles on your end. Keep these tips in mind so that your process will be faster. You will be qualified to attend the Citizenship Ceremony soon after.
