An article describes an experiment that investigated if sending or receiving text messages is more distracting than programming navigation devices. Drivers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The 60 drivers in the cell phone group sent or received messages while driving in a simulator. The 60 drivers in the navigator group programmed navigator devices while driving in a simulator. The drivers were instructed to exit the highway when they came to a rest stop. Of the drivers programming the navigator devices, 38 noticed the rest stop and exited. For the drivers sending and receiving messages, 17 noticed the rest stop and exited.
