>>Yeah? How many people are killed and injured for other reasons?<<
It doesn’t matter.
Of course not. Perspective is the enemy of cherry picking.
About 38,300 traffic deaths in 2015. 2,920 (8 per day) 7.6% of 38,300. Of course, those 8 per day include non-traffic deaths, which are far greater than traffic deaths.
Pre-cellphones I checked the stats at insurance companies. Well over half of traffic deaths were alcohol related. Also over half of deaths from swimming, boating, RV, snowmobile, hunting, fishing, domestic violence and gun deaths are alcohol related.
Cellphone deaths could be compared to those who read a newspaper while driving, or while walking accross the street. They are the problem. But not the big problem.
Alcohol is the big problem. If alcohol had not been involve, people in the nightclub could have carried weapons in self-defense.
