As an EMT, I rolled up on enough car accidents to learn some behaviors to avoid. As a result, I don’t generally speak on my phone when driving, let alone texting. Often, I don’t even have it nearby… why bother?

And while some maintain that speaking on their phone is less distracting that speaking with a passenger, I disagree. A passenger is present, can watch the road with you and understands pauses to focus on traffic.
Anyway, this infographic was pretty cool.
