   Not a single person disputed this, so, I'm not sure why   
   you keep saying what everyone knew before this thread   
   was ever opened.   
      
   There is absolutely no good data for the number of users   
   actually *using* the cellphone while driving. Period.   
      
   Likewise, the data for whether a cellphone was "involved"   
   is even worse data, because it over represents that which   
   it purports to display.   
      
   You really need to look at my statements because I have   
   been extremely clear from the start as to what is good   
   data and what isn't good data.   
      
   I have always used the US Census Bureau's numbers on   
   accident rates; and I have always stated that cellphone   
   *ownership* has skyrocketed.   
      
   Those who argue against the elephant in the room discuss   
   anecdotal evidence, which even you, I hope, realize is   
   not good data.   
      
   Those who argue against there being an elephant in the   
   room also argue those studies that *prove* [sic] how   
   dangerous cellphone use is while driving.   
      
   Yet, nobody can find the accidents.   
   Where are they?
