Sorry for going off topic here but the post above reminded me of an encounter....
In my training days I did a stint at Cooper Hospital (Camden). I could write a book about the experiences. One day I was heading in at about 5am when I came up behind a car at a stop sign. I found it odd that the couple was taking their time going through the intersection until I saw that they were lighting up crack...
Amazing what we share the roads with. Not that our group warrants this lesson but the moral is: assume drivers around you are impaired...
BTW- I agree with the comments regarding cell phone use esp texting. I'm wondering if comparative control research exists regarding the effects of passengers versus driving alone. It may help settle the issue in respect to hands-free use.
