Anyone with any sense of logic would disagree with that. Phones cause distraction, alcohol screws up your mental faculties all together.
Firstly, thankyou for ignoring the links. Any sense of logic would listen to thousands of people carrying out and publishing this work (not just in the UK) and actually time the time to realise, oh more car deaths and insurance claims by drivers using mobiles than those who are drunk.Dadu2004 said:Anyone with any sense of logic would disagree with that.

I'm not going to sit here and argue semantics with you. Both are dangerous.Jeremy+3 said:Firstly, thankyou for ignoring the links.

No, especially when people are here are telling people, hey talk on your mobile when driving, then someone applauds them!IADad said:isn't it kind of a pointless stat? It seems like saying death by multiple stab wounds is faster than death by slitting the throat...does it really matter which is MORE dangerous?
They are both just as irresponsible, people with the opinion that is okay to use a mobile when driving are the ones killing people, causes horrific crashes and knocking people off their bikes.Dadu2004 said:I was refering to the fact that it takes much more distraction off of the road by texting than by calling. Something can be said in 2 minutes by a call than 10 minutes by text.
Next time, clarify.... don't assume.

Jeremy, I hope you realize that those statistics are only the way they are because damn near everybody drives while talking on their cell phone, but most people I know try their hardest to avoid driving while drunk. So obviously there will be more reports taken from the millions of people who drive while they're on the phone with their mom today than there will be from the dozens of people who sneakily drive home from the bar drunk tonight cause they don't feel like calling anybody. So I don't see how you can possibly feel like that honestly holds complete truth. I have been drunk before. I'm pretty sure I'd do a better job driving when I answered my mom's phone call than if I tried to drive when I was done at the bar.Jeremy+3 said:Firstly, thankyou for ignoring the links.

If you see my previous posts, the published articles are copyrighted(as are all scientific papers), so you cannot read them online only at libraries or on blackboard (if you are a teacher you'll be able to take a look), the articles were just examples as I stated. Also in the UK is it is just as illegal to use a mobile phone while driving as it is to drink drive, there are more cases of people drink driving in the UK than driving on a mobile. The figures for accidents with mobiles still remain far higher than with drink driving.Xero said:Jeremy, I hope you realize that those statistics are only the way they are because damn near everybody drives while talking on their cell phone, but most people I know try their hardest to avoid driving while drunk.

Have you ever drank alcohol before?? I'm confused as to how you so die-heartedly believe this. :/
The only study I'll believe when I see it is if they take three drunk people and three people on their cell phones and set them all (on different days, not at the same time) to drive down the same road with the same obstacles in the same weather and see who gets in a crash first (if at all).
I just wanted to point out how silly it is for you to be so sure about something that doesn't make any sense, to the point where you become cocky about it. Those studies don't show crap. And you're not a scientist. You're just a guy, and you can't assume you know something just because you read an article that suggested it on the internet.
(especially an article based upon the very FIRST study done, and using only 20 people under who knows what conditions and what mind set)
