Pre- Reading
1) I think this article is maybe based on both because talking on the cell phone is distracting but some people can multi-task.
2) i never talked on the phone while driving, but i have seen people on their phone driving. i felt unsafe around them and that they arent paying attention so i moved away from them.
Reading questions.
2) i felt the article was based on facts. they did test showing a phone user, a drunk and a sober non phone user and cell phone user are more likley to get into accidents.
3) The main idea of this article was to show that whether it was hands- free or holding the phone it both served as a distraction and people were more likely to be in accidnets.
4) The Drunk drivers were more aggressive and cell phone user were more sluggish.
5) were, is, and, like.
6) Hands free is just as bad as holding the phone because the driver is still paying attention to the conversation and not to the road. so it serves the same purpose as holding the phone and not paying attention.
7) the phone companies hold responsiblity for accidents because people use their phones to talk while driving and they get into accidents

I try to move away or around people who are on their phones too, especially when I see how many of them swerve, hit their brakes way too quickly, don't respond to red lights, etc. it's not worth the risk! it's annoying, having to drive for other people on the road besides yourself, but it's imperative to your safety.
I agree with you and Diana. I can usually tell a cell phone user by their driving ability or lack of.
