Distracted driving, whether it be texting, talking on the phone, or something as absurd as reading the newspaper creates many problems on the road. Salvucci and Taatgen (2011) of The Oxford University Press bring up an interesting observation of how most people readily agree that when drivers stop looking at the road, their performance severely suffers. This statement, without distinction of any specific activity that the driver might be participating in, makes for a relatively true observation…
