I don't disagree that there are hypocritical opinions against restrictions on electronic gadgets in motor vehicles and we have a long way to go. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says music players are worse than cell phones (then later claims there are no good data on this subject). Anyway, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board has the responsiblity to use other sources than an automobile lobbying organization (AAA) and the DOT on this. Sigh. And they are twenty years behind the times still using the biased term "accident" when the neutral "crash" is more appropriate. It is no accident when someone causes property or bodily harm due to inattentive driving while yacking on the phone (or adjusting their iPod). As point of fact, if a driver is cited for inattentive driving, then the crash that driver has caused is neither accident nor crash. It is a crime. Is there another motorvehicle-flavored word that describes criminal vehicle crashes - like "accident" is to random chance but only in reverse?
