texting while riding a bike, by Flickr user Josiah Mackenzie

Chat on the phone while driving and your driving skill drops 20%-30%, say researchers.  Unless you’re one of the 2.5% of people who are “super-taskers”, who can do everything at once.

Are you one of the 2.5%?

Almost certainly not.  But presumably this is like day-trading, where 80% of people think they’re in the top 1% (as they have to be to actually make it worth doing).
