There needs to be a ban, a complete ban on cell phone use in a moving vehicle of any kind.
IT IS KILLING US !!!!!!!
...Here are more cell phone statistics (click title to entry - thank you) from the recent study, “Role of cellular phones in motor vehicle crashes resulting in hospital attendance” by S. McEvoy et al. published in the British Medial Journal:
The main finding of a fourfold increase in injury crash risk was consistent across groups of drivers.
Male and female drivers experienced about the same increase in risk from using a phone.
Older and younger than 30 drivers experienced the same increase in risk.
There was no difference in accident statistics between drivers using hand-held cell phones compared to those using a hands-free cell phone device.
Weather played no factor in the accidents with 75 percent of them occurring during clear weather conditions.
Eighty-nine percent of the crashes involved additional vehicles.
Over half of the injured drivers reported that their crashes occurred within 10 minutes of the start of their trip.
Risk of Car Accident is the Same In Hands-free Versus Hand-Held Cell Phones....
