Found this little test thought some of you might like it, it's a test of how well you concentrate on driving whilst on the phone. I was only 2 out but failed the part after it reveals your results.

I got the number spot on, but missed 8 questions. Probably because I've learned to block out a woman's voice.

I gave it a try and failed badly, I was out by 15 and didn't answer 8 questions. Just seems like a computer game to me though, don't see how it applies to real life.

I don't really see how counting t-shirts is related to phone use?

Missed 8 questions but got the t-shirts right to within 1. It would have been hard to count them even without the distraction. Didn't see the animal

Got the exact same. What were the 8 questions!? I thought I got them most of them, don't think I got 8 wrong...
Edit:
Just took it again, and it seems I was either hitting space bar to soft, or early after the question. But I reckon I got 6 of the questions on the first test.

I got 26 t shirts, correct number was 27 right the first time, but failed to answer 8 questions.I did it a second time and didnt bother counting the shirts, and still failed to answer 8 questions.I think its a scam test.

I didnt bother stopping for the feckin pedestrians the second time and knocked them all down including the rabbit.I suppose the cops will be at my door soon.

Seriously though, talking on a phone is dangerous even with a hands free, because you are not concentrating on the road ahead.I see people in a car park for instance with the phone to their ear, and then proceed to exit the park still with the phone stuck to their head.Why cant they just make the call before they move off? I instinctively pull in where I can, to take a call even with a hands free.I know that sounds a bit pompous but its a fact, no excuses for been on the phone and moving.

Counted 28 t-shirts and was out by 8 questions like a lot of people.

Spotted the rabbit/bear tho

As someone else said, counting t-shirts isn't exactly "real life"
