Taking a selfie on the road diverts attention from surrounding traffic, pedestrians, and road hazards, which significantly increases the risk of collisions and accidents. Distracted posture or movement while focusing on a camera can lead to stepping into traffic, tripping, or sudden immobility that other road users cannot anticipate. Many road-safety guidelines classify using a mobile phone or camera on the roadway as a major behavioral hazard, and preventive measures include moving to a safe area off the road, remaining aware of traffic flow, and using hands-free arrangements only when stationary and safe. Therefore the statement is true.
