Of course, the game distracted me for an hour.

That's much less than an hour's play -- does it show your results from the N'th game of N?

I played once and got the same deltas as you (0.02 and 0%) but times consistently somewhat worse than yours. The approach I used was to ignore the phone except for the interval between reacting to each gate's sign and passing through it.

(Why anyone in their right mind would be texting while driving, I don't know.)

Oh, so there are supposed to be results.

In Safari and FF, I complete the texts, the gates stop, and it sits on an empty road.

It worked OK for me in Firefox. (3.5, on Windows XP.)
