Using cell phones while driving ... worse than DUI?
I had to take a minute to hold my tongue on this because it's one that so many people like myself are guilty of. If I counted up the number of times I could be blamed for Dialing and Driving, some states would already have me in jail.After a certain point though, it really becomes a personal issue. We've all heard the case: it's dangerous because it takes your attention off the road. But what if someone told you it was more risky than driving drunk? Now that's a bold claim! All of a sudden talking on the phone seems about as safe as turning your minivan into a driverless missile on the road.
This oldie-but-goodie article points out the dangers that we should all be reminded of. For instance, did you know that using a hands-free device doesn't really make you safer? All it really does is ensure that you won't have a cell phone to clutch for dear life. So next time you're late picking up the kids or are needed in eight places at once, reconsider that phone, or at the very least make the conversation as short as possible.
