My grandson just participated in a home-schooler's science fair and his project was about distracted driving. He only just turned 15, so he had to use a driving video game. His results clearly showed that even handsfree conversations were distracting. Texting was far and away the most distracting though.
Yes, exactly. It is very distracting and extremely disturbing to see how common it is. I stop at the lights and every one is on their phone!
