How many more accidents are there with so many people on their cell phones?

People can't signal when they change lanes or turn because one hand is holding the cell phone. People are distracted because they are on the cell phone. Atleast two times a week I'm almost hit because of a person who is on their cell phone not paying attention. Who are you all calling???? Why is it so important to constantly be on the phone? Before cell phones, I don't recall droves of people lined up in their cars waiting to use pay phones!!!How many more accidents are there with so many people on their cell phones?
Well driving with a cell phone is banned in the UK resulting in a fine and prison if a fatal accident is caused.People don't actually drive properly when on the phone,that's why the ban was enforced,I'm surprised it hasn't happened in the US already.How many more accidents are there with so many people on their cell phones?
Believe it or not, statistically- no more than talking with someone in the car. Cell phone usage have very little to do with inconsiderate drivers; I'm sure these types don't signal without talking on the cell phone.



The greatest amount of accidents caused by distraction are led by those who have young children in the car. Followed by those who are looking for a radio station. Are we going to ban people from having their children in the car? Or ban putting in dialable radio stations? Comon, it's an individual's responsibility to pay attention. Maybe the drug company's can make it a law that anyone who drives a car must take ';Ritalin for Drivers!'; forces idiots to pay attention!
