A study at the University of Utah, no less. It showed the people who were at the legal limit did as well or better than those using cell phones. If anybody is wondering, using a hands free set did not make a difference. It's not a lack of dexterity that causes the danger, but being mentally detached from the situation. Wow. This is getting really OT. Um... I think they used a computer to do the study. They should have used Linux if they didn't.
