Texder's Quiz

1.

This activity averages 12 seconds of distraction — equal to traveling 525 feet without looking at the road!

Smoking

Cell phone use

Changing the radio station

Trying to remember if you turned the iron off this morning

2.

These are all examples of reaching — a manual distraction that takes your hands off the wheel and causes havoc for other drivers as you swerve all over the road:

Searching for the ringing phone you just knocked off the seat

Trying to put the pacifier back in the mouth of your crying baby

Looking for a piece of gum in the bottom of your purse

All of the above

3.

Chances are, this distraction is something you do every time you are in the car:

Fiddle with knobs and switches

Become hypnotized by the windshield wipers

Bang your head on the steering wheel in frustration at the slowpoke in front of you

Worry if you'll reach your destination without the dreaded check engine light coming on

4.

Math time:

Texder leaves Mobile, Alabama, traveling westbound at 67 mph. Doc loads up her dog, Boo Boo, and starts a road trip heading eastbound from Syracuse, New York at 44 mph. Texder starts his trek at 10:13am. Doc heads out at 10:46am. What time will the two distracted drivers collide, and what happens to the yappy little unrestrained dog in the back seat?

Is that a story problem? Are you kidding me?

Boo Boo becomes a projectile missile exerting several hundred pounds of force. Ouch.

They don't collide. They're traveling in opposite directions. Duh.

Boo Boo finally wins that coveted Frisbee Championship… in heaven.
