Distracted Driving: What You Don't See

Science shows your brain just can't keep up. University of Utah researcher David Strayer has been studying distracted drivers for 10 years. "The brain just doesn't work the way we'd like it to work," he says. "We can't multitask the way that a lot of people think they can."
David's research found that talking on a cell phone quadruples your risk of an accident. "For comparison purposes, someone who's drunk at a 0.08 blood alcohol level has a four-time crash increase. So talking on a cell phone is about the same as driving drunk," he says. "When you're text messaging, the crash risk goes up to eight times."

This statement just shows that multi-tasking is not a good practice while driving.  It is very risky as driving while drunk.  You could save a life, even yours.  How can we control this distracted driving?  It’s up for to decide to make your car a no phone zone.  Be responsible.  Stop the blame, decide for yourself.  Manage your phone system.  This is just so simple, put your phone down while driving.  Distracted driving is a life-threatening  habit.  Take action manage your phone system and put down your cell phones while driving.
