   0. Medical improvements   
   1. Seat belts   
   2. Air bags   
   3. Halogen headlights   
   4. Roadway construction   
   5. Stability control   
   and yes   
   6. Cellphone use!   
      
   All these have contributed to decrease in fatalities & injuries.   
      
   If we normalize out the first 5, we *must* see an increase in accidents,   
   injuries, and fatalities, that spikes at the same rate of cell phone use in   
   the United States.   
      
   Otherwise, cell phone use is not causing accidents, fatalities, nor   
   injuries.   
      
   It really is that simple.   
      
   I'm not saying which way the pendulum swings because I do not   
   know the statistics for accidents, fatalities, nor injuries - but,   
   I suspect that it has *not* followed the cell phone trend.   
      
   Which, if true, means cell phone use has negligible effect on   
   accidents, fatalities, or injuries.   
      
   I'm waiting for the "accident" data ...
