Posted By: We are all bad drivers

Every study I have ever read says the same thing, driving while on the cell phone increases your risk of accident significantly.

One person commented that talking on the cell phone is infinitely more hazardous than driving drunk. Not according to a study by VA Tech. Who had them almost on par in terms of distraction.

And to the person who said they are quite good at it. Well I do believe that a few people can do it better than others, but it is still a large distraction and it is like saying that some drunks are ok to drive. Foolish.

If you are on a lonely highway, fine, talk away. If you are zipping home during rush hour traffic, get off your phone because the only reason you have not hit some one is because the other drivers are saving your a$$ by avoiding you.

We are all guilty sometimes, but if we all make an effort to keep cell phone use to a minimum while driving, then our roads would be a much safer place.
