Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University just confirmed two older research studies , one in2006and one in2003 , that says drive while talking is as high-risk as driving while drunk . How did they reach this conclusion ? Brain imaging . volunteer drove a simulator inside an MRI brain scanner and were asked to shape whether a sentence was true or untrue . We ’ve mother two problems with this subject field .
One , since when does your wife necessitate you to determine whether somethings is true or false , repeatedly , while ingest a conversation ? It ’s usually just speak about picking up Milk River or the crazy broad at work — a decidedly soft activity .
Two , did these Tennessean in reality get drunk and take the same test ? Or were the researcher just saying that the errors made while on the sound were like to the ones made theoretically while drunk . Because their study reputation does n’t seem like the subjects liquored up and did some driving . It ’s pretty difficult to come to the stopping point that talking on the earpiece is as dangerous as driving , but you’re able to conclude that it ’s more dangerous than just aim ordinarily .

Rothman points out that Mythbusters did their own test in Episode 33 ( he ’s a big buff ) and in reality did get drunk and drive around . Any MiB lovers see that one ?
