They were trying to prove that texting while driving impairs your ability.

Researchers and safety advocates have known for years that driving performance worsens when the driver is texting. Now we know just how much worse. Federal statistics suggest that distracted driving contributes to as much as 20 percent of all fatal crashes, and that cell phones constitute the primary source of driver distraction.
