"  One of the scariest statistics I&amp;#039;ve heard since I&amp;#039;ve been editing Cosmo is that texting while driving increases your risk of crashing by 2,300 percent. Yikes. In a round table meeting today, U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood told a group of editors that one of his major initiatives is to come up with solutions to put an end to distracted driving. You should never drive while texting or talking on a cell phone, even if you&amp;#039;re using a headset or technology such as Bluetooth. Our brain just can&amp;#039;t concentrate fully on driving while it&amp;#039;s engaged in a conversation (even if it&amp;#039;s a dull one!). Secretary LaHood also said something else I found interesting. We&amp;#039;re all aware that the legal blood alcohol limit while driving is 0.08. But what does 0.08 actually feel like? How do you tell if you&amp;#039;re anywhere close to that? Secretary LaHood offered a great guideline: If you feel the slightest buzz, you&amp;#039;re not fit to drive.
