NYTimes: Gauging Your Distraction

[MetaKittie]

Well folks, NY Times came up with a fun video game. (http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/07/19/technology/20090719-driving-game.html)Its about texting while driving, the dumbest act on the planet in my opinion.
I was pretty shocked by how slow I am at this, and pretty much took it as a good idea to not text and drive, or text and anything (guaranteed to miss half the notes I'm supposed to be taking).
I got:
.81 seconds slower reaction time while driving
48% of gates missed while texting

Second time though:
.42 seconds slower reaction time while driving.
10% more more gates missed while texting.
Which is pretty sad, but I'm tired and just had cold medicine, I'll try again tomorrow.
So, WW.com, lets see your times! Kudos to anyone able to get a worse score than me.

I got .39 seconds slower reaction time (average was .24) and missed 4% more gates while texting (average was 8%). That was pretty difficult, and I also missed the easter egg. Hence why I don't text while driving.

.49 seconds slower while texting, 27% more gates missed while texting, and I didn't see the "gray lady".

I'm not that surprised honestly, since I can barely work the radio without swerving.

.56 seconds slower, 29 percent more gates missed.

In my defense, I'm not used to driving with 1-6.
