I suppose it depends on what you are talking about and how much you have to think about it. I am just citing studies. Having participated in lots of 'studies' (as an OR/SA guy in the Army), I believe I can say that most studies end up saying what the proponent of the study wants it to say. |

Having participated in lots of 'studies' (as an OR/SA guy in the Army), I believe I can say that most studies end up saying what the proponent of the study wants it to say. I agree about studies but I also understand that if you are in a serious conversation that takes a lot of thought, you are not thinking about the road. That would really be true if you were flipping through some papers on your seat looking for an answer to a question but I understand that is a separate issue. It is still a fact that a lot of people use their car as an office these days and I see them doing all sorts of stuff on the road. It still may not be as distracting as a mom trying to see what the kids are doing in the back seat tho. ;-) That is the down side of not letting kids ride in the front. |
