Mythbusters - Cell Phones Vs. Drunk Driving - 3 of 3

No copyright infringement intended. This video is purely for safety education. This video is intended to show the dangers of cell phone use while driving. We use cell phones on a daily basis but not while driving. We had twin 17 year old girls killed by a cell phone user in 2002. Cell phone use and texting has only gotten worse since then. They cost lives every day. We have heard all the arguments so save your time. People do have other distractions but you will notice cell phone use is the absolute most common. Everybody sees it and frowns upon it but they do it anyway. If these videos save one life then it was all worth it.

Kari is still cute when drunk

[EPZ379]

Well, she is drunk, completely bonkers. She can't tell a slice of pepperoni from a bell pepper.

Maybe she picked off the pepperoni or there was more than one pizza.

Eh, who knows...

[TalkinShit111]

Ok whatever, it was my opinion, mate.

No, it shows that some people are shitty drivers all the time and those individuals should know their limits are below that of others. I experimented with a driving simulator and I actually made a faster lap time after drinking 4 shots with 30 minutes of time to metabolize it. Not everyone loses their faculties when drinking.

[neogeon]

Yes...yes it does, that's why it's called "drunk driving". I've been in poorer shape to drive after a big meal than after a single beer. There's a legal limit for a reason, and that reason is that it's been proven reasonable and safe to drive with that amount of alcohol in your system.

[neogeon]

Well, then, to be fair, with that logic, you shouldn't drive if: you're even a little sleepy, you're stressed, you're sore/physically tired at all, etc. If people didn't drive when they were somewhat impaired in any capacity, no one would ever drive. If you're a grandma with two hip replacements, you shouldn't drive unless you're on your A game. If you're a healthy person with racing experience, you can take quite a few hits to your abilities and still drive safe at normal speeds.

For what it's worth, I did an experiment with Gran Turismo 5 and a force feedback steering wheel (best home driving simulator within reason) and actually had a lap time 2 seconds *faster* after drinking the equivalent of 4 shots and waiting 30 minutes for it to metabolize. While some people may lose all motor function, up to a certain point, I'd say my driving improves slightly because I'm more focused on what I'm doing when I drink vs. my somewhat ADD normal self.

Carrie myth busters

[Bernie Goetz]

They sure talk about her farting a lot in videos. Guess the grass is always greener until you have to mow it or until it farts.

[Pawel Kolasa]

They were driving badly on PURPOSE while they were drunk, simply because they already believed they HAVE TO FAIL.

Dishonest testing.

Why don't you take people who actually drink and drive? Then compare the two data.

Don't just take a girl and guy who will do what they believe the result should be, because they think it's the moral thing to do.

[Naveed Cheema]

How about talking to your friend in the passenger seat? To me your doing the same thing as talking on the phone. Most people do drive with one hand on the wheel as well, whether talking on the phone or not.
