I'm supertasking!

Christ monkey on a pogo stick. I can just see some of these idiots trying to get out of tickets because they claim they're "special".

I guess I'll be told this a fair amount during my day job then...

Some of the commenters are part of this "supertasking" crowd >.>

It figures this came out of the U. I'm sure all the people that are not proven supertaskers in this study are the same idiots I'm dodging when I'm on the road.

I'm not very good at driving to begin with, and I'm very good at hearing stuff and playing it back when needed. I also think very quickly (remember kids, right is better than fast). I might possibly have done well on that study. However, it doesn't mean that I can concentrate on multiple things. It means that I'm ALWAYS distracted by something, so I start out impaired. (I seem difficult to distract, but that's actually just that I'm so used to being distracted that it doesn't affect me as much anymore).

What's the speed limit on the 401 for John Doe in his 10 year old minivan? 100 km/h. What's the speed limit on the 401 for Danika Patrick/Mario Andretti/Dale Jr. in a Porsche/Ferrari/Corvette that's just been given a bumper-to-bumper checkout by factory-trained technicians? 100 km/h. Easy answer to the Supertasker issue.

Yeah, I caught this on another forum and immediately knew that this report would bring out the dipshits who think texting while driving is ok, and now this report "proves" it.
