Humor aside, human beings simply aren't capable of multi-tasking... It's a fucking myth. I'm not big on supporting laws that restrict individual agency while driving, but given that I live in the society I do; cell phone drivers are an active threat against everyone in their proximity.
I was hit by teenaged cell phone driver as she blew through a stop sign and permanently injured me, but apparently that text just couldn't wait.
Logged in to post just this. At one time I was a high level athlete (top 10 nationally, just missed 2 Olympics), and this was something I learned early on. Brain can switch between 2 things rapidly, but you can only focus on 1 thing at a time. Young eyes may be able to shift focus between near and far (phone and outside world when driving) too... but it only takes a split second.
I'm a motorcyclist too, put your fucking phone down (not you indoctrinated, the rest of these niggers). You are NOT that good of a driver. The truly good drivers (roadracers, autoX, etc...) know they're not good enough at driving to use a phone while behind the wheel. The rest of you are dumb enough that you don't have a clue how incompetent you really are.
Cops are allowed to use a laptop while driving. Therefore it is safe
I mean... Trust the science. Amirite?
