Driving with cell phone as bad as driving drunk, study says.
Byline: Tom Avril
PHILADELPHIA _ Drivers who talk on cell phones may be just as dangerous as those who drink.
That's the sobering conclusion of a study published Thursday by University of Utah researchers who monitored 40 men and women on a driving simulator.
And drivers using hands-free phones were no better than those with the hand held variety, confirming previous studies.
The findings, published in the journal Human Factors, represent a direct blow at a popular pastime that is taken for granted by millions of multitasking drivers.
At any given moment during the day, 10 percent of drivers on U.S. roads are gabbing away on their wireless devices, according to a 2005 estimate by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Bad idea, said psychologist Frank A. Drews, one of the Utah study's authors.
