Drivers and Legislators Dismiss Cellphone Risks (Driven to Distraction Part 2 of 3)
- Date: July 18, 2009
- QUOTE: [Americans] increasingly use phones, navigation devices and even laptops to turn their cars into mobile offices, chat rooms and entertainment centers, making roads more dangerous. A disconnect between perception and reality worsens the problem. New studies show that drivers overestimate their own ability to safely multitask, even as they worry about the dangers of others doing it.
