When I was reading the statistics on this, it scared the crap out of me. It also made me think. I need to not let myself get distracted when I drive, or at least try to keep the distractions to a minimum. With three kids in the car, that can be tricky. In this report, the big distractions included not just cell phones, but music, movies (I play them for the kids, but I can still hear what's happening despite that -- thank goodness I don't find Thomas the Tank Engine that interesting), and even navigators (the programmable kind -- not the husband kind).
EEK.
One in three people under 30 texts while driving; 60% talk on the phone while driving.
