Conor:
Talking on a mobile phone does not increase the number of accidents. Its been debunked the same as exceeding the speed limit means you’ll have a crash.lse.ac.uk/newsAndMedia/news/ … hones.aspx
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.
What about trusting the statistics?

Both show a year on year decline in the number of injuries and deaths, despite this “endemic” culture of phone use whilst driving and and increase in traffic on our excessively congested roads.
IMO it is simply down to people’s inability to drive.
