Texting And Driving Worse Than Drinking and Driving
A recent study found that if you are unimpaired it will take you .54 seconds to react to a problem situation. They went on to test the effects of alcohol and texting on reaction times. If you were driving 70 MPH and were legally drunk (.08) it would take you an additional 4 feet to react. That is nothing compared to what happens if you're sending a text. It takes you a whopping 17.5 times longer than a drunk driver to react. You would drive an extra 70 feet before reacting to a problem situation. Yikes - get off the phone!
