   There is no data on the only thing that matters, the number who use their   
   phones while driving.

   Where is yours that using a phone while driving doesn’t ?

   There is no increase in the total number accidents.   
      
   You have absolutely no idea if there is an increase   
   in accidents due to the use of phones while driving   
   which is less than the drop due to better design of   
   the cars and roads which we know has happened.

   Trivially easy for anyone to dispute you stupid claim   
   that that shows anything about accidents due to the   
   the phone being used while driving.   
      
   > So, given that, where do you get your accidents from?   
      
   Same place all accidents come from.   
      
   > (Or, do you just make this stuff up?)   
      
   No point in asking you that, the answer is obvious.
