Drinking is definitely worse. Like, talking is bad sure, but drinking is much worse.
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.
Alleged test
Allegedly using 2014 text aps that were barely better than t9
What are the parameters here? Are we talking texting while driving compared to two beers? Browsing Amazon compared to a liter of vodka?
