Yeah, but auto accidents have always been huge. Doesn't matter if you're distracted or not. Since I was a kid the roads have been dangerous and that was long before cellphones. That's just the way it is when you are driving a hunk of metal at high speeds. Shit happens.
They already have laws against using your cell phone in the car (at least here they do). But what's next? Hell, I've almost had a wreck changing the station on my radio before. I've also swerved around a little bit when I forgot to put my seat belt on and had to try to put it on while driving.
Stupid shit just happens. We try to avoid it the best we can.
Of course the govt. takes these laws (like seatbelts and cellphones in cars) and turns them into revenue streams. That's when it all goes south.
