ps - recent studies show that cell phone users, while driving, have the

this point.
FWIW, a different study looking at real-world statistical data just
found no correlation between cell phone use and accidents:

that is interesting. But it only measures general cell phone use
compared to accident numbers in seven states. I like to see studies
that revolve around distracted driving statistics rather than cell phone
usage in general. While useful in a general way, I don't think it mutes
the other studies that measure more along the lines of impaired reflexes.
