My point was simply that telecommuting or any measure that reduces the amount of time people spend in their cars would reduce the amount of time that they could be using their mobile phones and driving.Iverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03004788368079422855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079382872239420021.post-22861817781735288602009-07-28T14:03:26.782-07:002009-07-28T14:03:26.782-07:00That study you cited that showed being on a cell p...That study you cited that showed being on a cell phone as comparable to driving drunk was very persuasive. While I never text and drive, I still sometimes talk and drive...I don't think I'll be doing that anymore. Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />As for the topic of whether alternative work schedules will stop people from chatting and driving, I don't think that will cause them to stop doing it. I feel that people believe that whenever there is "down time" they should fill it with something and most people believe they can drive and talk at the same time with no ill effects. We need more studies to prove to people the dangers of talking and driving. <br />-Sherie TamuraSherie Tamuranoreply@blogger.com
