According to a story in today's LA Times driving while using your mobile phone approximates the level of impairment one experiences when legally drunk and indeed reflexes for drivers at the legal limit for alcohol actually were better when braking or performing avoidance maneuvers!
Anecdotally speaking I have to agree as it seems that if I happen to pass a slow or erratic driver invariably they are talking on the telephone.
The text message revolution makes it even worse.
