I prefer to trust the science rather than emotive claptrap which seems to be what has steered the whole thing around mobile phones and speeding.

If using a mobile communications device was really that bad then there would not be an exemption for 2 way radio and the police would not be being filmed countless times on TV shows when single crewed using their radio/phone during a high speed pursuit.
