WORST IDEA 9/20/10: Texting while driving

Texting while driving seems to be about the same as reading a novel while driving, yet people do not consider it all that dangerous. Studies actually show that texting and driving is equivalent to having a .08 blood alcohol level -- legally drunk most places. Teenagers, of course, think they are invincible and this new study shows that most don't consider distracted driving all that dangerous. Of course, the results are skewed by all the kids who can't answer a survey because they are in the hospital having windshield removed from their eyeballs.
