On occasion you can find me eating a sandwich, talking on the phone, blasting my music and looking at directions on my phone all at once! Suprisingly, I’m not DEAD! After reading this study I may have to adjust my driving tactics. Nah, I’ll just buy a bluetooth!

Eating and driving distracts you significantly more than being drunk or texting and driving. When you eat, your reaction time slows down up to…

44% where as texting slows it down 37.4% I was shocked to find out that those numbers are nearly TRIPLE what your reaction time is when you are at the legal alcohol level (.08%) and driving which is at 12.5%
All I know is that I wish I was this lucky at the poker tables! I estimate my distraction level at 89% when I drive and somehow I can’t win a hand to save my life AND I’m driving better than the dumb a** in front of me on the freeway!

This doesn’t mean drink and drive because it’s safer. Its still REALLY BAD so don’t do it!
