virginia tech researchers installed video cameras inside cars to find out what drivers were doing right before they got into an accident. the verdict? in two- thirds of car crashes, the driver was visibly distracted? and cell phones were the biggest culprit. texting while driving led to a more than three-fold risk of a crash. dialing a call? a 12-fold risk. by comparison, eating at the wheel only led to roughly double the risk. cell phones aren't the only culprit, of course. other distractions - for instance, being angry or crying at the wheel - also made a driver more likely to crash. but few things are more preventable than a cell-phone linked accident. so when you're driving? keep and out of sight. and save those selfies? for when you're stationary. with this medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnson. > the rates of h-p-v infection seem to have dropped, according to the c- d-c. and it's all because of a vaccine! h-p-v stands for the human papillomavirus. in just 6-years, researchers say the rate of infection among teenage girls dropped more than 7-percent. for women between the ages of
