Study: 1 In 3 Americans Text And Drive

26. More complex than that.

The text on the signs on the side of the road is larger, to enable the same focal depth. If I hold my phone up at arms length, in line of sight with a stop sign so the sign text and the phone text are the same relative size, both are in focus. Your eyes have a very very narrow cone of focus anyway. Something like 3 degrees.

So tell me, which is worse, someone holding their phone up in line of sight to read it, keeping their peripheral vision where it's supposed to be, or by passing a law that causes people to hide their phones, holding them down out of sight to text while driving? Because the law doesn't seem to have stopped people from texting and driving. It may have only modified their behavior to hold the phone were they CANNOT also see the road.
