Cell Phones & Driving (Motor Vehicle Injuries)
Submitted by kirksanderslaw on
When a person drives and talks on a cell phone (mobile phone) they are distracted. There's no question about it.
In a study by the National Safety Council, drivers talking on mobile phones and driving are driving as unaware as if they were legally intoxicated. See excerpt from http://www.cellphonesafety.org/vehicular/era.htm
Cell phone usage, whether hands free or held, is the equivalent of driving drunk.
