Automobile Association of Great Britain(AA) had got a number of reports of motorists so plugged in to music in their cars that they drive inattentively, the newspaper said .
What's worse, even pedestrians sometimes contend with passing cars while checking their emails.
Pedestrian inattention could be the cause of 17 collisions a day and that crashes of this kind have increased 5% in the last year, according to the AA's research.
"Too many people are suffering from so-called 'iPod oblivion'," AA president Edmund King was cited as saying.
''We can't stop the march of technology but we need to halt the 'iPod pedestrian, cycle and driver zombies'," King added.
