I found the most interesting (and scary) aspect was the fact that our brains cannot multi-task and visually take in everything in our driving view. See the link below for the researcher's explanation. http://www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Distracted-Driving-What-You-Dont-See No one is fully functioning while talking on a cell or texting while driving. The risk factor is the same for cell phone users as for drunk drivers and twice as high for texting while driving as for drunk drivers. Please don't put lives at risk - the world won't end if you don't make that call or text, but you could end a life if you do.
