This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone:  An 18-month Virginia Tech Transportation Institute study finds that texting while driving increases crash risk by 23 times.

That can't be right. Everyone I know who texts while driving says he can drive perfectly well while texting.

Seriously (to change the subject slightly) if I had a dollar for everyone who's told me that they, unlike most people, can safely use a cell phone while driving, I could retire. This must be like the old saying about programmers: 1 out of 10 can actually write good code without first making a flow chart; problem is, 9 out of 10 think they're him.

How much for the boss who demands that you use the cell phone while driving because he does? I wanted to strangle him for demanding that I call one of our subcontractors while I was on the way back to the office. I, instead, stopped at their office because they were on my way back to our office. It was a win-win for me because I didn't get in an accident on a major interstate and I got to put a face to a voice.
