Distractions
*FILE (NYT27) ST. LOUIS, MO DISTRACTED DRIVERS
At 60 miles an hour on a Missouri highway in Nov. 2008, a 16-year-old driver texts with a friend as a 17-year-old takes the wheel. Texting takes a driver’s mind and eyes off the road, but researchers say even using a hands-free phone is dangerous. Research shows that using a phone while driving is as great an impairment as being drunk, but no states ban it. (Dan Gill/The New York Times)
