. . . to john q public’s comment on my earlier post… i would have just responded in the comments, but i think this deserves more than being obscured in post comments…
from facts and figures page on for car drivers site (emphasis added):
Cell Phones
A University of Utah study, "A Comparison of the Cell Phone Driver and the Drunk Driver, found that "…the impairments associated with using a cell phone while driving can be as profound as those associated with driving while drunk." Furthermore, the impairment levels were similar whether the cell phones were used in handheld or hands-free mode.
yikes!!!
‘nuff said…
exactly. and it amazes me that people don't care more when they're driving a couple of tons of vehicle in an impaired state. it's willful ignorance. well, that explains it all: people are pretty stupid, and love being so.
