Apple's smartwatch may be 'fatal' for drivers, say road safety groups

Road safety groups have recently warned that Apple's smartwatch may be unsafe for British drivers and could also lead to increase the mortality rate. Road safety motoring groups believe that the Apple Watch has a tiny 38 mm by 42 mm screen operated by a button on the side, which could be too distracting for drivers, Metro.co.uk reported.

Neil Greig of the Institute of Advanced Motorists said that it would "significantly impair" driving performance. Drivers would be required to use two hands to operate the device, he further added. The gadget, which carries many of the features of the iPhone, would cost about 300 pounds when it goes on sale early in 2015.
