So far,
this is the most thoroughly documented research that I have found on the
subject of distracted driving. I have
found several articles comparing the cell phone driver and the drunk driver and
while they all made sense to me, this paper seems to prove it. Their final conclusion was, “When driving conditions and time on task were
controlled for, the impairments associated with using a cell phone while
driving can be as profound as those associated with driving while drunk.”
