Research reveals that the attention span is reduced from 60 seconds 7.25 seconds by Microsoft (in the year 2015), but over a period of time it has reduced to further to 4 seconds. We have to increase our attention span which is very important.

 We have stored our driving activities in our brain, and it often works on autopilot when our mind isn't fully focused. However, we have not stored the road safety  cognitive activities, so when our mind is off the task, the brain goes into a rest state. When the mind returns to focus, the brain takes about 1.3 seconds to react, but accidents can happen in just 1 second. We have to store cognitive activities in the brain to make it more active when the mind is absent which is utmost important. Prepare and prevent is better than repair and repent.

If you agree with this, consider enrolling in road safety cognitive activity training. If you're unsure, take a cognitive test to check your ability to stay focused while driving.

1. Road Safety Cognitive Test Requirements

1.1   Equipment Needed:

• Mobile Phone A: Placed on the car dashboard to record traffic ahead.
• Mobile Phone B: Placed at the back of the car to record traffic behind.
• Mobile Phone C: Mounted on the roof to capture a video of your face.
• You can borrow phones from family or friends, but you'll need to buy the stands for them.

• Conduct the test in city or suburban areas (rural areas often have poor internet connectivity).

1.3   Duration and Route:

• Drive for at least 20 minutes in the city and 20 minutes on highways.
• Inform us of your route details (start and end points).

1.4   Test Fees:

• Rs. 250/- per test. Additional or repeat tests also cost Rs. 250/-

1.5   Internet Connection:

• Ensure all three phones have sufficient data for the test.

2.  The Test Process

2.1 Scheduling:

• Once the payment is received, we'll schedule the test and inform you a week in advance.

2.2   Preparation:

• You'll get an online link to open on all three phones. Test the link before starting.

2.3  Test Activities:

• You’ll perform specific cognitive tasks while driving.

2.4   Eye movement tracking:

• Cognitive attention and cognitive distraction will be monitored .

2.5 Monitoring & Assessment:

• Experts will monitor the test live and review the recorded videos to assess and decide the result.
• Driving skills and cognitive skills ( cognitive attention and cognitive activities)
• 3 times the recording will be reviewed by 3 different observers

2.6  Recordings:

• Test videos will be recorded, and you can request access if needed.

2.7  No Bribes:

• Integrity is strictly maintained—no room for manipulation.

3. Results

3.1  Pass/Fail Criteria:

• People without road safety cognitive activity training are likely to fail the test.
• Those who pass will receive Cognitive Skill Test - CST Certificate.

3.2  Next Steps for those who fail:

• Those who fail must undergo cognitive activity training provided by Mother India Care (MIC).

3.3  Who Needs This Test:

• Pedestrians, cyclists, two-wheeler riders, and drivers of autos, cars, buses, and trucks must take the test.

3.4  Privacy Option:

• Choose to have your test streamed live on social media or kept private.

4.  Important Notes

• All current driving licenses were issued without cognitive skill test, but this will soon become mandatory and CST Certificate must be carried with the other 4 important documents (DL. Registration, Insurance & Emission + CST ) .
• 99.9% of road users are unaware of road safety cognitive activities.
• Mother India Care is the first organization to launch this initiative, setting a global precedent.
