Cell phones don’t cause many wrecks in my opinion. Only when you text on one. Texting is the big killer.
It depends on how intense the conversation is. I was approaching an intersection with a green light when a guy with a cell phone to his head went right through the red light. If I was going faster or a second or so sooner I would have rammed him in the door.
Nonsense. While texting is FAR worse, even talking with the ‘phone to your ear is surprisingly distracting. I personally nearly smacked up because of my conversation on a cellphone 5 years ago, and haven’t talked on one while driving since.
It really IS that big a deal.
