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. [... sarcasm about lack of hard evidence ...] There is NO evidence of car phone usage leading to accidents. I think you are being a little harsh. Just because someone hasn't gotten around to doing a 10-year study on something doesn't mean that you can't use common sense and predict the results. Of course, these "predictions" should be taken with a grain of salt, but denying the existence of a problem entirely, as you seem to have done, is just as silly as parading predictions as the Truth. -- T.
