Usual media hysteria. Cell phones are a minor cause of accidents compared to all the other distracting things people do while driving.

A study released Tuesday looked at 32,000 crashes 1995-99. It found that 8.3% of them involved distraction. Only 1.5% of those cases involved cellphones, while 11.4% were caused by adjusting the radio and 10.9% by talking to a passenger. More than 29% of the drivers were distracted by something outside their vehicles. The study was done by the University of North Carolina for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
