Don't Text and Drive

Texting can be fun, but not while driving. A research conducted in Britain reveals that texting while driving can be deadly, according to The Age.

The researchers found that while texting, steering skills become 91% worse(!) than regular driving. For comparison, smoking cannabis showed only a 35% decrease in steering ability. Texting seems more than twice as dangerous as smoking marijuana.

Reaction time was also affected, with texting slowing it by 35%, alcohol (the legal limit) by 12% and cannabis by 21%. Scary.

The conclusion: leave your cell phone alone when you drive. If it's urgent, pull over and send the message. Don't die over a text message.
