"People walking and talking on a mobile phone are less aware of their surroundings and tend to weave in different directions, according to a study.
"Researchers from Western Washington University in America first watched 317 people crossing a university campus square, including people talking on phones, listening to music, and walking in pairs.
"The team then observed another 151 individuals walk across the square after arranging for a clown wearing a bright purple and yellow outfit, large shoes, and a bright red nose to unicycle nearby."
