-	...Compared with undistracted drivers, cell-phone users in the study drove a little slower, were 9 percent slower to hit the brakes, had 24 percent variation in following distance, were 19 percent slower returning to normal speed after braking and were more apt to crash.	+

Last week, Drews said, his own family was "nearly killed, and I'm not exaggerating," by someone who was driving while using a cell phone. The cars, side by side, were on a curve on the highway. But the distracted driver was going straight. When Drews confronted the driver on the exit, he found the man, still on the phone, was completely unaware that there had been a near-miss, Drews said.	+
