 A recent study compared phone use to driving under the influence make a claim that might be a bit too far-fetched. Apparently some new research, using a driving simulation device as to not expose any real drivers to the dangers of those who talk, is showing cellphone users to be as bad or worse than the average drunk driver.The study gathered forty volunteers used the simulator, taking turns trying it undistracted, with a handheld phone, with a handsfree device and while blowing a 0.08 blood-alcohol level -- the average level of impairment in the US. Three participants ended up rear-ending the car in front of them, and all three were talking on the phone, not drunk. The study said that there is not different between hands-free and handheld phone talkers, and found they were 9 percent slower to hit the breaks, and varied their speed more than normal drivers. Drunk drivers would drive slower, yet more aggressively, and all three groups were under the impression that they weren't impaired. I think this is taking too far, I would rather have people on their cell phone than driving drunk anytime. unlocked cell phones, cellular phone handset, camera phone pics, mobile phone reviewsunlocked cell phones, cellular phone handset, camera phone pics, mobile phone reviews
