Not a day goes by that I don't see some fool text messaging at the wheel (and my commute is at 3:30 AM and 12 Noon...imagine the target-rich environment of rush hour).
Anyone with a brain (which apparently doesn't include the above-mentioned multi-taskers) knows it's dangerous.
But how dangerous?
Well, the guys at Car and Driver broke out the instruments and measured texting while driving against driving under the influence of alcohol.
Please, watch this video. And if you have ever texted while driving, don't ever do it again.
