Scared yet?

Eyes on the road, people!

Most drivers who admitted to using the internet while driving said they were most likely to do so while at a stop light or stuck in heavy traffic, but ISP troopers say fender benders are just too common when using a cell phone.

The study reported that just under a quarter of drivers with smart phones admitted to using the internet while driving.

The top five web-based activities included finding driving directions, reading email, looking up interesting information, looking at social networking sites, and sending emails.

They only text at stoplights, only drink beer to keep from being alcoholic and eat only in restaurants where the calories don't count.

I'd better stop thinking about this. Having a rental car the last few days has already brought out the Nervous Driver in me.
