Re: Study: 4 Times More Likely to Crash With Phone
I read a recent study of medical residents after call (read sleep deprivation). They score about the same as someone intoxicated. I have never DUI'd, but I have driven while talking on the phone, and sleep deprived. At least for me, the phone is worse. I just focus more on the phone than the road. When sleepy, I *know* it, and drive much more carefully to compensate for my poor reflexes and response times. Nowadays, I very rarely use the cell while driving, and only if I know it will be a few second conversation. Otherwise, I pull over for a couple of minutes.
