I have the article, will try to get something that is viewable up.
The biggest phenomenon we are dealing with when it comes to driving and cell phones isn't so much the nature of the distraction, it is where the brain draws the line for attention - and this varies from person to person.
I am a little biased in this, as driving, cell phones and driver behavior are the core background in my developing expertise in Human Factors. There are several studies out, and they contradict - a lot of this is a result of the study design, the parameters of what the study can actually measure in a valid, scientific way, and the tie of this to real life.
