What is as bad as drunken driving? Texting with hands or hands free!

From Atlantic Cities | Eric Jaffe

A new law was passed in California that allowed texting hands free receiving and sending by voice activation. Studies however suggests that driver's performance in driving slowed down considearably:  with hands or hands free.  This was according to the study of David Strayer of Univesity of Utah that using cp while driving is equivalent to have alcohol leve of .08, or equivalent to having a screwdriver (vodka with orange juice)

The best advice you can give to someone who wants to continue texting even hands free while driving "Would you care if your Doctor texted hands free while operating on  you?" Published in New England Journal of Medicine in 2010
