What's more dangerous? texting or being drunk?

Well, it turns out that texting is far more dangerous. A recent study found that on average, driving at 70mph, one man braking suddenly while legally drunk (0.80 blood alcohol) traveled 4' beyond his baseline performance. But reading an e-mail while driving sober, he traveled 36' beyond the baseline result and 7' while sending a text; in the worst case while texting, he traveled 319' before stopping.

HEY PEOPLE, STOP using your cellphone when your driving!
