The intrepid journalists over at Car and Driver have determined that texting while driving is way more dangerous than getting behind the wheel fucked up. How? They tried it.
The experiment, which took place at a rural Michigan airport, is detailed in the latest issue. First they measured normal driver reaction. Then one group downed a few vodka screwdrivers and hit the track. The sober group drove while texting on their cell phones.
The drunk guys won. Obviously the test wasn't terribly scientific (no control group). And by the looks of the oldsters at C and D, we're pretty sure they have decades of "thumbs-up" booze cruising under their belt, which skews the results. We'd like to see the same experiment with 16-year-olds.
