Cognitive Distraction While Multitasking in the Automobile 
David L. Strayer, Jason M. Watson, and Frank A. Drews

http://www.psych.utah.edu/lab/appliedcognition/publications/distractionmultitasking.pdf 

I chose this  publication because it is a well documented source that I found on the University of Utah, Distracted Driving website.  I trust this source fully and found that this document focuses on multi-tasking and how it affects your driving skills.  This is something that I have always been curious about, since I am a master multi-tasker!  At least I have always thought I was.   I am starting to realize that while multi-tasking might be a great thing in the kitchen or in the office, but most unsafe while driving a vehicle.
