They are both risky behaviors when driving. All it takes is a split second to not see a pedestrian crossing the road or steering into someone's lane. One time I followed my sister and noticed that she was swerving. I thought she was drunk, so I called her to make sure she was ok to drive and she told me she was text messaging. You should watch 7lbs. People make mistakes when they are sober and not on the phone, it is MUCH worse if you are doing one or the other. Pay attention on the roads, you may hurt yourself and others. Also, be careful if you see other people on the road with a cell phone, watch your surroundings when driving.

The latent thinking does the driving, thus in the event of an accident, your brain must shift the active part of itself from talking on the phone to driving, and all this in, potentially, a fraction of a second.
