      A phone conversation is for sure not as bad as driving drunk, however browsing and texting might be worse than some of the lower BA levels

      A test, on a closed circuit, was conducted in Germany, perhaps 10 years ago. The mobile phone users were worse than the damn drunks.

        One test on a track ten years ago is not evidence that being drunk is less harmful than talking on a cellphone while driving.

        What are the parameters here? Are we talking texting while driving compared to two beers? Browsing Amazon compared to a liter of vodka?
