Can iPods Improve Your Driving?

In the article i read entitled, "The effects of practice with MP3 players on driving performance," the researchers discussed that in studies conducted by the University of Calgary drivers reaction times improved in everyday driving situations. After the baseline readings were taken people were allowed to drive and practice driving with an iPod in the car. (All of these test were done in a driving simulator so that no one was put in danger.) Once the drivers had practiced for a period of time more reaction time readings were taken, and the researches found that drivers reaction times improved. With every test that was taken drivers reaction times improved.
