1. Sending text messages from your mobile phone while driving is more dangerous than driving under the influence of drink or drugs, a study by Britain's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) has found.

The reaction time of people texting as they drove fell by 35 percent, while those who had drunk the legal limit of alcohol, or taken cannabis, fell by 21 percent and 12 percent respectively, according to the study.

The study, which was commissioned by the motoring group RAC Foundation, also found that while texting the driver’s ability to stay in lanes or keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front was worse than those who were under the influence of cannabis.

“This research shows how dangerous it is to text while driving,” TRL Senior Human Factors Researcher Nick Reed said in a statement.

He pointed out that drivers who texted were distracted by taking their hand off the wheel to use their phone, by trying to read small text on the phone display and by thinking about how to write their message.

“The combination of these factors resulted in the impairments to reaction time and vehicle control that place the driver at a greater danger than having drunk alcohol to the legal limit for driving,” Reed told reporters.

One conclusion researchers made about why texting is so dangerous is the length of time it takes to write a message while driving.

The TRL said that writing a text message behind the wheel took 63 seconds, in which time a car travels half a mile within town centre speed limits and over a mile within motorway speed limits.

Nearly half of all 18-24 year-olds admitted to texting as they drove, a separate survey by the RAC Foundation discovered.

The TRL study selected 17 people from the 18-24 year-old age group to take part in a simulated road test, in which they were asked to read, write, and ignore texts on a variety of roads.

“Almost all the participants in this study shared the same view that drink-driving was the most dangerous action on the road,” RAC Director Stephen Glaister said.

He said the research clearly showed that a driver who is texting is significantly more impaired than a driver at the legal limit for alcohol.

“No responsible driver would drink and drive,” Glaister said in the statement. “We need to make sure that text fans understand that texting is one of the most dangerous things that can be done while in charge of a car.”

The Spanish man likes, among other things, to eat well. Besides the general meals of the day—breakfast, lunch and dinner—in Spain people like to eat “la merienda”, a snack in the afternoon which is taken in a bar or at home. “Ir de tapas” is another typical Spanish thing which consists in taking little portions of food which can consist of: fish, ham, cheese, always

In the evening, after having dinner, especially young people, go to bars and have some drinks with their friends. They like spending all the night in the bars and then in the discos. Adults always prefer to take dinner with friends in a restaurant, especially at weekends, when they have more free time. All terraces are full during the warm seasons, until late at night. Spanish

people enjoy talking in high voices and drinking a lot of beer and other drinks, which consist

Moreover, Spanish people are the Europeans who eat the most fish, after Japan, the major consumer of fish in the world. The majority of Spanish fishermen are in the north—Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia and Catalonia—and in the south—Andalucia and Canarias. That is why, in

Concerning the Spanish way of eating, we have to mention that Spanish people usually take dinner late at night, at 10 p.m. This is because they would work until 8 or 9 in the evening, as they start working later in the morning and have a break of almost two hours at mid-day, for their siesta.

To conclude, we should say that it is worth tasting all the Spanish dishes and especially the ones based on fish, because they are delicious. And the most interesting of all, like in all countries, is that each region has its special foods and ways how to serve them. Likewise, drinks are also different from one place to another, and are related to each region’s customs
