More Evidence of the Dangers of Distracted Driving

The National Safety Council has released a white paper on the dangers of cell phone use, hand held or hands free, that further illustrates the problems of driving while distracted. More and more, it seems as though, no matter what action you take in talking on cell phone while driving, even employing a hands free device, seems to be a very bad idea all around. Increasing evidence shows that the brain is incapable of true multitasking in critical areas, regardless of how skillful we think we are.
