New studies show that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask behind the wheel. This game measures how your reaction time is affected by external distractions. Regardless of your results, experts say, you should not attempt to text when driving.
I can't do this.....I would never attempt to text while driving anyway. This may cause a bit of anxiety!
