Online game developed by the NY Times in 2009, tests how well you can text and drive
Test your ability to text while driving with this 2009 game developed by the New York Times
Back in 2009, the New York Times posted a story about texting while driving. Included with the story was a link to a browser based game developed by the newspaper, that puts you behind the wheel. When you see a green sign containing a number, that is the lane that you have to switch to. Changing lanes requires you to use the keyboard of your PC to press the number of the lane you're moving to.
When the Times printed the story on August 4th, 2009, the paper said that "New studies show that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask behind the wheel." The smartphone explosion was just beginning, although text enabled handsets had already been around for some time.
