to food revolution and super-fix next round. When we were doing that contest, I was not in control. What's the lot of roads scary? I feel like my behavior was texting and driving would not be safe for the roads. The test was very hard. When the brake light came on and I realized that was a car, I just had an accident. Until this point, I thought I could master both skills of texting and driving. It is definitely a wake-up call. I wanted to respond to the text and also was trying to not run into the grass. I've been very lucky that nothing has happened to me or my kids because of me texting and driving. If everybody went through this test, they would see why they should not text and drive. This is Jared Gaul, who's an editor at CarDriver Magazine, who tested the effects of texting and driving on three of our viewers who all think that they can multitask and think they were doing it really well. So walk us to the result to leave. So what we found is dramatic. I mean, while people are texting and driving, they're simply not paying attention to the car. Their reaction times increase and they're just not in control. We have this graph. The top bar is reaction time, 40 miles per hour, baseline in the bottom below that is texting. And you see a 22-foot difference between the time you hit the brake pedal. That's 22 feet very easily be the difference between a close call and one of the stories we've heard today. Yeah, a close call and somebody's child. Absolutely. Absolutely. That's amazing. How do you all feel about looking when you see that eye opening? But I don't get you. I really don't get you. And I'm not here to put you on the spot. But you said on that tape, you said, I have been texting and I looked up and saw myself in the other lane. It's embarrassing. It's absolutely changed my life since that driving test. And I feel like I'm incredibly lucky. That nothing has happened to me or my children or someone else. Yeah, and you do this with your children in the car? I have, yeah. You have. So are you born again right now? Absolutely. I want to go and do something with my city. And I want to make the voice heard and I want to start a movement. Yeah. And you need to spread the word. I will. You have a responsibility to do that. Absolutely. Because your wake up call actually woke you up without having to kill somebody. Yeah. It's something that's 100% preventable, just like that was said. 100% preventable. What you said about your son's death. Yes. Well, I thought I could do it. I'm going to admit because everyone of my age wrote from high school and college students. Everyone is doing it. I know. And I guarantee if all across America, all the teenagers that went through what I went through, I'm 120% positive. They wouldn't be texting and talking on the phone. Because that text or call about whatever it is we're talking about these days isn't worth your life, let alone someone else's. But weren't you pretty cocky about it before? I could text without looking. I did 80% of the time behind the wheel because I just, I thought I could do it. Oh, we know you were pretty cocky. Pretty cocky about it saying, you know, I feel pretty confident. I can do both. Yeah. I was really cocky about it. My wife would always tell me, you know, you have our family in the car, you have our kids, you're putting them at risk. Now we'll look at her and just like, don't worry about it. I got this. I'm a great driver. I can multitask. And when I took that test, it was a big, big wake up call. This was a prize because I went into the test thinking that, you know, I'm that guy you're talking about. You know, I can do it all. When I got out of that car, I realized that could have been me up there losing one of my kids who was losing my wife. Because I didn't pay attention. So when I got home, I put the phone down. I haven't, I haven't text while I was behind the wheel since the test. So it was a big, big wake up call. Good for you. And as his wife, wouldn't it infuriate you? Yes. Yes. I mean, he's the driver and the family. He's the one we get into his car. My, he's taking the kids all over the place. So yes, absolutely. And his attitude, I mean, on the tape, you didn't see half of it, but he's a football player who can be defensive and handle it. You know, so yes, this was definitely much needed for me. Because my heart aches for those families. And it could be my four kids or myself. Or yourself. Thanks, Jarrett, Sean, Carly, and Jen. We'll be right back. MUSIC 3 on KCRA 3. Nate's on two new assignments. He's taking over for a stay at home. And high school reunion to remember it. To this viewer with Rocker Rick Sprayfield. Good morning. Good evening. Tomorrow. Good morning. Good evening. I've wanted to do this show for a very long time. And it is my prayer that this show, this day, will be a seminal day in your life. Let it be the end, the end of you using a cell phone or sending a text message when you are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. Now, take another look, if you will, at the faces of the children, the husbands, the fathers, the mothers who were killed by a distracted driver who was on a cell phone or was sending a text when they took those lives. Now I want you to look at these faces. These are the loved ones who are left behind now to carry the pain caused by somebody who was on a cell phone or writing a text, a distracted driver. They have to carry that pain for the rest of their lives because their loved ones are no longer here. Think about that when you get behind the wheel of a car and go to pick up your cell phone. Don't tempt fate. That text or call can wait. Believe it. Thanks, everybody.
