So apparently in the UK the Department of Transportation is called the Department for Transportation. This means that the acronym is DFT, which is confusing because DFT of course stands for Discrete Fourier Transform. So the question is, when transportation becomes fast in the UK will the DFT become the FFT? OK a little geeky humor there ;)

Anyway, the DFT has a nifty test you can run online to see how attentive you are to pedestrians when driving and listening to a cell phone at the same time. It would be interesting to have participants run the test with and without the sound of the mobile phone call, in order to see how much the phone call affects your ability to count pedestrians.
