Contrary to Eric Peters's January 8 column, "Driving while Talking, the study mentioned in the column is NOT a Transportation Research Board study, nor was it funded by the National Academy of Sciences.

The study was conducted and funded by the University of Utah. The study was prepared for presentation at the upcoming annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board, along with many other studies by researchers and engineers nationwide.

p>Before mocking the study, Mr. Peters's credibility would be well-served not to have two major errors in the first two paragraphs of his column. He also should recognize that "what ought to be obvious" isn't always correct, and that scientific research is necessary to provide solid information upon which to base legislation or other action. br> -- Lee Siegel
