Stop Texting and Driving

According to Car and Driver, Texting is more dangerous than driving drunk. The magazine tested two drivers' reaction times at both 35 and 50 mph to get a baseline. They then had the drivers read a text message (Caddyshack quotes!) while driving. The drivers then drank screwdrivers until their b.a.c. was .08%. At the highway speeds, the delay in stopping caused the car to trave an average of 70 feet farther.
