   Just to be clear, I knew that but I was keeping on the   
   topic of the cellphone.   
      
   But, I do agree that a primary factor was seatbelts, which   
   started to be ubiquitous in the 70s or so, and then the   
   crash test worthiness factors helped a lot (e.g., airbags).   
      
   At some point, the 55mph speed limit helped.   
      
   Also the impact-absorbing and breakaway barriers helped,   
   as did better lighting (remember when Halogen came out?)   
   and electronic stabillity control (e.g., ABS & DSC).   
      
   Other than the electronic systems, I'm not sure what   
   has occurred in the past 5 years though, other than   
   a cellphone in a car is a safer car than without.
