The first reaction to car phones was clearly demonstrated here.  They are
dangerous, and that they MUST cause accidents.

I disagree.  This whole discussion was started by someone asking if anyone
knows what the stats are on accidents re. car phones.  Nobody has answered
that question yet.

I realize that this is all too common on the net, but I'm going to quote
vague stats with absolutely no proof.  I read this somewhere, I can't remember
where, and if you don't trust me, good --- quote the stats that prove
me wrong.

There is NO evidence of car phone usage leading to accidents.
